No, they weren't forgotten. Upstream dropped the /dev/cdrom and
/dev/dvd* symlinks long ago, we just carried them a little longer. This
concept of static symlinks has shown to be unreliable with hardware
changes (as you noticed yourself when changing the SCSI drive), and
modern desktops and CD handling software should not assume any of these
links any more but instead ask sysfs or libudev about available CD
drives and their capabilities.
