There was a huge to-do about this on the kernel mailing list not so
long ago (between the kernel developers and the author of
cdrecord)[1]. The consensus among the kernel developers seems to be
that there is no reason not to use the /dev/ naming system
directly. The author of cdrecord disagrees (hence the warning messages
that cdrecord issues), but for reasons that I at least don't
understand,
