No. It wouldn't. It used to in some versions with some drivers, but
a number of people (who have cd drives behind doors, or coffee mugs in
front of their computers) found the behaviour rather awkward.

>drawer is open, it closes by itself.

Also not all cdroms _can_ close the drawer themself. Imagine an
installation with a `live filesystem' or other essential CD, where
someone rebooted it remotely.
