Why do you believe that an extremely outdated version from cdrecord where somebody even added bugs could become more popular than the official maintained software? If you don't know this, wodim _is_ an extremely outdated cdrecord where some people added bugs that never have been in the original. The answer is that some Linux distributions try to force their users to use the defective fork instead of the original because they don't like to cooperate with the author. Get a recent original from ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/cdrecord/alpha/ and make sure to install cdrecord/readcd/cdda2wav suid root. Note that even the mkisofs variant from the fork (called genisoimage) is full of nasty bugs that cause filesystem inconsisties. Linux may ignore these filesystem inconsisties.... but if you like to use your media on other platorms or even with future Linux versions you should prefer maintained original software. The "cdrkit" project is dead since more than 8 months and it had only 8 months of speudo activities.... do not bet on a dead horse.
