That's strange, you happily use pre-alpha code as long as it is not called
alpha?

This is definitely not true. Wodim does not work for many (if not most) people.
This alone causes differences in usability.
As cdrtools introduced _many_ new features during the past 3 years, even iff
wodim would work, it did not give you the same usability.

You cannot convince people to believe things that are verifiably wrong.
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?ordering=normal;archive=0;src=cdrkit;dist=unstable;repeatmerged=0

Note that many of these bugs are showstopper bugs and that there are more
bugreports that have been removed although they are of course present.

As mentioned before: cdrkit is neither free nor working.
If you like to use free and working software, you need to use the original cdrtools.
