If I understand J�rg correctly, you need ide-scsi to successfully grab CD
audio.
If that's correct, I think more people might need ide-scsi than you think.
If all that's true, not only people wanting to burn CDs are affected by the
lack of ide-scsi as a standard, but also people wanting to grab music (and
maybe convert it to mp3 etc.pp.). I think the 2nd group is larger than the
cd-burning-fraction, and I do think that both groups will increase in
numbers over the next time, seeing that cd writers become a common good and
that HD's are becoming increasingly huge.

Uhm, doesn't J�rg claim that both, ide-cd and ide-scsi, are broken, but that
ide-scsi is less broken and allows more flexibilty? Besides, why is it a
'major change' if ide-scsi became standard? I mean, this wouldn't mean that
anything at all would have to be changed in code, would it? All he's asking
for is to change the default to something more "current-compliant" (so to
speak).
OTOH I still think that this should also be done on a distribution kind of
level.
