Well, face the reality:
The minimum requirements one need to have on a "stable release" is that it
does not have known bugs at the time of piublishing. With this contraints,
wodim never had a stable release in it's lifetime.
Cdrecord had 50 stable releases that match the requirements within the past
three years.
For wodim (better cdrkit in general), there are dozens of documented bugs that
are not fixed since years. Instead the people behind wodim publish fix typos
in the man pages and in the source comment in order to pretend activity.
If you speak for the Debian community, then it looks like Debian is if Debian
is completely uninterested in the Debian users.

cdrkit is not working and besides the problems from the _current_ thread
there are dozens of other bugs in cdrkit. Many of them are show stopper bugs as
they make it impossible to use th software at all.

???? Are you again ignoring reality?
There is a Debian user (Paul) who cannot write DVDs because Debian does not
include working software (cdrtools).
Paul asked here and did not get help from the Debian cummunity.
Paul did get help from me and simply going to the vanilla original software
fixed his problem.
If Paul makes a bug report, this will just add another bug to the long list of
bugs in cdrkit but it will not result in a bugfix. People who like to write
CDs, DVDs or BDs just use the original software because Debian does anything to
prevent a vanilla Debian to be useful for this task.
Do whatever you like but don't forget that your current habbit is anti-OSS and
against Debian users.
