CC'ing blfs-dev, but please reply to lfs-dev as that is where the bug is
currently ticketed.

My thoughts are that the actual devices are created properly, and
nothing in the base system needs the symlinks so I vote for moving this
ticket to BLFS.
Looking at the ticket, it seems we have lost the url:
"See the above URL for details. "
In any case, I agree with DJ in that it seems to be a LFS problem. If a
user inserts a CD in the "wrong" player, does he get access?
Actually, I had originally suggested that it was a BLFS issue because of
the choice. The scripts that used to ship with udev are gone, leaving
only cdrom_id for this particular bug. At one time there were three
choices for this single task. I still use the oldest of the three taken
from somewhere in the udev-060s, but that is not an option anymore.
IMO, a single default set of rules in LFS will be fine as long as all
symlinks are created. For example: I have a CD-RW device and a
DVD+/-RW device. In /dev, I have device files for hda and hdb, and
symlinks for cdrom, cdrom1, cdrw, cdrw1, dvd, and dvdrw. Yes, I do need
5 ways to get to my DVD+/-RW drive! ;-)
