In the words of the great Jeff Garzik, "because the cdrecord author
refuses to rewrite the code."  That's why other people have been
distributing patches to cdrecord to make it use the packet layer of the
ide devices directly. (I may be mixing terminology, sorry)  The new 2.6
kernel will no longer use an ide-scsi layer.
