Also, following the 2.5.0 (soon to be 2.6/3.0) kernel development, the kernal 
will be able to support non ide-scsi cdrw devices.  This is perhaps why the 
beta/special version of cdrecord is also in development.  It's is most likely 
for preparation of this new kernel feature.  

Many new improvements that are listed in the changelog of the new kernal will 
be sorely welcome to the community/usres.  Such things as the ide cd burner 
support, better I/O for multimedia, etc.  Also the compilers and libs have 
some new facets as well. The down side to some the the compilers issue from 
what I can gather is how it will effect some older/present programs, e.g. 
Wine and _errno/_errno.h flags.  They are working hard on this as well as 
cited on the Wine devel and others lists.

It will be both interesting and also a bit confusing regarding the fact that 
the newer kernel will have many new abilities but there's a question of 
compatibliity with certain programs.  Device support will be expanded nicely 
however.  

Just a note.

Curtis
