It seems that you missd the fact that it has been introduced 2 weeks before
cdrtools-2.01-final came out and people on LKML did complain that I did not
cause cdrtools to become unstable from introducing untested code.
Announced (in case of an incompatible change) means:
- prominent developers of code that uses the interface that is to
be changed need to be informed a sufficent time _before_ the
incompatible change is applied.
In general, it would make Linux a mature project if such changes would be
discussed for being reasonable with other people ( e.g. with experienced
programmers like me).
