It it was important, why don't people ask for the feature?

Which projects do that not also support cdrecord for the same task?
What functionality are you talking about?

Well, it may be easy to add code but do you also take the future maintanance
into acccount?
In cdrdao, the last feature enhancement happened more than 3 years ago and the
last bugfix is nearly 2 years ago. Given the fact that the last bugfix was to
make it compile with a newer gcc, what happens if there is no maintenance at
all anymore by the authors and recent cvompiler don't compile it anymore?

Do you like to give Solaris users the ability to explore all core dumps
and other bugs that have been added by the wodim people as their "extra value"?
