I consider myself to be a real cdrecord user, and I find your SCSI ID
numbers to be incredibly annoying. With an external device the numbers
don't stay stable in any way shape or form, and generally change every
damned time the device is turned on.

Device names, on the other hand, do seem to be fairly stable, and are
actually meaningful (and can be made even more stable and meaningful
through creative use of udev). Why should I need to do a cdrecord -scanbus
when I can just use dev=/dev/scd0?
