OK, but if sr0 is discovered first, then it should have all the
symlinks, and if sr1 is discovered first, then it should have all
the symlinks. But why do I get sr1 for only one of them?
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2017-04-24 10:05:16 cdrom -> sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2017-04-24 10:05:16 cdrw -> sr1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2017-04-24 10:05:16 dvd -> sr0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2017-04-24 10:05:16 dvdrw -> sr0
And why isn't there the same rule for cdrom?
/lib/udev/rules.d/80-debian-compat.rules contains:
# These rules will create symlinks for CD/DVD drives, to help old
# programs which are unable to automatically discover the devices.
# The first detected device gets the symlink, but this is not stable across
