What is the status of ide-scsi these days ? (Can't shutdown)

[Kim Lux]

Did Linus say that ide-scsi was an outdated and no longer needed
"patch" ?

Did the development team concur ?  Have they acted on it ?  Should
ide/atapi cdrom access allow users to have full use (ripping, burning,
reading) of their CDROM ? 

I am running ide-scsi to allow me to have some control of my cdrom.  My
syslogs are littered with "depreciated" comments.  I've got a few error
messages as well. 

When one runs xcdroast, for example, it urges the user to enable ide-
scsi. 

So... is xcdroast wrong ?  K3b seems to work OK without it, bug grip
(cdparanoia) seems to have issues.
