So, according to the upstream discussion David Zeuthen recommended to
just not lock CD-ROM trays by default. Kernel/userspace already handles
prematurely removed USB storage devices reasonably, and with read-only
devices like CD-ROMs it is even less of an issue. So we should just set
/proc/sys/dev/cdrom/lock to 0 by default.
>From my POV, I'd just change procps to ship a new file /etc/sysctl.d/10
-cdrom-tray-lock.conf with this setting. Scott, do you have an opinion
whether this is reasonable?
