I believe I was one of the people asking for /dev/dvd to be dropped. The weirdness you get with the original code is that if you have two optical drives and one is a cdrom+dvdrom and the other is only a cdrom, then depending on which of them is /dev/sr0 (which might differ between reboots) you may or may not get the /dev/dvd symlink. This (I would say) is highly unintuitive, one should think a priori that if you have at least one dvdrom present and have the /dev/dvd symlink support, then there should always be a /dev/dvd symlink. If you only ever have one optical drive connected, or if all your optical drives have the same features this is not a problem (but you still have the issue that which drive the symlink points to is random between reboots so you don't know in which hole to put your disk).
