You're missing my point. Until you have a Yamaha CD-RW 4416 drive you
don't know that the Yamaha drive needs to be in that black list. By the
time you find out that the drive should be in the blacklist, it's
typically too late to do anything about it because you've already shipped
your release code and the Yamaha isn't in that blacklist. Get my drift
now?
