I wasn't too happy about it either. As I said before tho, you can still burn as user, but since cdrecord is denied permission to the rr-scheduler and setpriority kernel functions, there is a high risk of buffer underruns. I really can't remember exactly when Mandrake dropped the kernel patch that allowed cdrecord as user access to 2.6.x kernels.
Couldn't something be done about that by a combination of sudo and group?
Yes, but that's the kernel patch Mandriva has dropped. Linus directed that all 2.6 kernels should no longer allow user calls to the kernel. Many distros, includin Mdk patched the kernels to work around that. But no longer.
