Any plans to make more CD-less play Sierra games?

Like Phantasmagoria, Torin's Passage, etc?
Just finally got around to installing the GK3 CDless play patch... Very nice. Something going on with the graphics - but will tinker with that in a moment.

What games currently aren't possible (conventionally) to play without the CD or a CD image?

All of the Sierra SCI CD games are done except for the Shivers games and RAMA. UniSCI doesn't work on Lighthouse or RAMA. I may eventually do the same for RAMA that I did for lighthouse, which I have the installer create ISOs of the two discs and mount with the imgmount command in DOSBox.
I don't have many installers for the post SCI games, but two allow for CD-less play, GK3 and QfG5.

The main thing is the Coktel Vision CD audio games. I have yet to find a free, lightweight command line ripper that work reliably in all version of Windows, nor something that can create a BIN/CUE from the command line. I have thought about making some installers for these games and leaving it up to the user to make the rips, but then I would have to support people that may not be quite capable of doing it without hand holding.
