Wrong. The "somebody" strongly felt that ide-scsi was not just ugly but _evil_, and that the syntax and usage of "cdrecord" was absolutely stupid. That somebody was me. ide-scsi has always been broken. You should not use it, and indeed there was never any good reason for it existing AT ALL. But because of a broken interface to cdrecord, cdrecord historically only wanted to touch SCSI devices. Ergo, a silly emulation layer that wasn't really worth it. The fact that nobody has bothered to fix ide-scsi seems to be a result of nobody _wanting_ to really fix it. So don't use it. Or if you do use it, send the fixes over.
