Who are "you"? As a reminder, it is not official list representing

Pardon me, but this should have some other reasons, I assure you :)

supermount-ng will access CD-ROM just the same as long as some
applications does it. So most probably newer version of urpmi did
fix this problem by not probing media now.

You can "fix" it for "traditional" supermount as well by using

sysctl -w dev.cdrom.autoclose=0

the CD-ROM access people are seeing is due to the fact that most
IDE drives do not distinguish between no media and tray open and
mostly return just tray open so driver tries to close tray and
drive probes for media.

you will have to close tray manually then of course
