There are several issues. There is the licensing, which could probably be
resolved. There is the security issue of not filtering scsi commands.
(I think I got burned by this, as I have an old DVD burner, that stopped
being able to burn CDs, but can still burn DVDs that changed around the time
that switch was made.) And there was (maybe still is, but I am not sure)
cdrtools obscure way of referring to devices by scsi ids instead of file
system paths. Plus, I get the impression that cdrtools is mostly a one man
show, and that isn't good for future proofing.
