(I was unsure whether to reply privately or on the list. But since there is apparently more than one reader who is objecting to my posting style in this thread, I am going to explain it once publicly and would prefer to take the discussion off-list soon.)

Sorry, it was not my intention to be mean. I am just trying to find a
shortcut through that inevitable debate. I have seen it several times
now and I know many of the complaints, accusations and side issues like
the one about threading. I agree that my previous mail sounded harsh,
but it really is the only conclusion to draw from earlier threads.

That's of course fine, but it doesn't help in understanding what lead to
wodim's existence in the first place. Not that everyone necessarily
needs to know them, but if you want to know why there's no cdrecord
anymore in Debian, that's the answer.
