You are continuing to write nonsense.
There was a securoty bug in Linux caused by the fact that Linux did allow to
send SCSI commands on read-only filedescriptors.
Asecurity bug fix for this problem was to revert the code back to what
it has been before: require write access on the fd and NOT breaking the
interface. If you are unable to understand these basics, you should stay quiet.
Cdrecord is far away from being irrelevent.
On the other side, cdrskin is irrelevent as it is not portable.
The broken debian fork is irrelevent as it is missing a lot of important
features and as it does not work (as reported by people wo did find it
on their distributuion).
BTW: there is nothing like Fedora cdrecord. You are either uninformed
or a bad guy who intentionally spready FUD.

Please stay away from here unless you are willing to contribute.
Spreading FUD is a really bad habbit!
