Exactly that was my intention when adding it to the kernel
configuration. :-)

Thanks for that warning - another thing to pay attention
to when stupidly assuming that granted functionality will
stay available forever. :-)

However, I haven't been using burncd for long time as it
has been "broken" (for me) at some point in v5 already,
that's why my decision to use cdrecord and cdrdao with
the "SCSI command set".

Still I'm curious how things will develop on application
side with the new subsystem once it's established. At
least I see abandoning the differentiation "acd0 vs. cd0"
as a good thing. One drive - one device file to access it.
