But, /dev still has no device named blueray or br or br0. Ditto with

I have had to manually create dvd link to sr0.
Interestingly, cdrom is there.
since what user creates disappears at reboot, I have added the
creation of
/dev/dvd in rc.local.
So, what should the blueray device be called in /dev? bd? br? bdr?
Why do you believe Blu-ray devices should be named "bd*"?
Optical devices, within the past handful of years, have been labeled
"sr0" by the kernel, and only symlinked to "cdrom" by a udev rule.
This convention occurs regardless of optical type.
If you wish for additional symlinks you may create custom udev rules
to do so, but I have no idea why the names would be that important to
you.
If you saw the thread earlier, some multimedia
players want to use url's like dvd:// ....
to open that media.
If dvd is not in /dev, then that url will not work, because currently
fedora does not provide it in the udev rules.
Also, I recall someone saying that udev and it's rules will be removed
sometime in the future.
You probably did not see such threads, but only popping up
your comment as a kneejerk reaction.
