I never really thought of that. Ground mounts with cataclysm will only really be useful in pvp, instances, and leveling now.
Ground mounts are more varied and unique than flying mounts. Flying mounts are all kind of the same. Netherdrake, drake, protodrake. Gryphons and windriders just say, "I haven't spent any time or got lucky enough to get something cooler yet!" And most of the unique ones they have made are pretty much just different colours, or a different skin on the overused drake.
Where as ground mounts have lots of variety and some are very unique, like the zulian tiger (atleast for horde), spectral tiger, amani war bear, raven lord, and the headless horseman mount, just to name a few. There's a large selection of ground mounts, so that if you put effort in to getting one, you'll stand out in a crowd.
If they do make flying mounts usable almost anywhere, like they're planning to do, they should try to add more unique ones, not just different types of drakes.

Actually, now that I think about it, it won't be such a big deal anyways. I mean, when do you really use your ground mounts?
Cities
Instances
PvP
Dueling outside of Org/Ironforge
Old world rep/achievements/exploring
They're really only taking away about 2/5 of the areas you use your ground mounts in.
However, I still think that they need to add a lot more unique new fliers (flyers?) to the game so everyone isn't just flying some new form of drake every expansion until level 100 when this game starts to die and blizzard releases World of Starcraft. (Can’t wait, lol.)

Well, and looking at the Blizzcon area layout, there's potentially that entire central hub where there wouldn't be "open space" for us to fly around. My bet is, they may make it a restricted flight zone, where we simply can't. At least initially, who knows. But yea, not a major loss at all.

If they took away all flying restrictions, people would still sit around in a major city on one of their super rare ground mounts, just to show off.

Solution: Make ground mounts, such as kodo, FLY.

We need class specific flying mounts, beyond just flight form for druids. For instance, mages could do something like surround themselves with pure mana and be able to fly? Or locks could get fiery demon-birds. They need to make things like bats or gargoyles available too as mounts. And they need to introduce faster fliers (360%?) but make them much harder to get, like endgame rewards and such.

^this, I would much rather have a flying kodo instead of a proto drake.
