This would change the behavior. Do you plan to alternatively allow to
have the eject button blocked as before? Note that people may likke to have the
button locked in order to prevent to eject the media by accident.
BTW: cdrecord (when going to write to a CD / DVD / BD) loads the medium,
then locks the eject button and will not unlock the eject button before
the write process to the medium has been completed. Is there a potential
problem that could remove the lock from the eject button that has been
established by cdrecord and thus make cdrecord less reliable than before?
