Hello! This 6.2-rc1 release is breaking support for CD-RW, DVD-RW,
DVD+RW and partially also DVD-RAM medias because of pktcdvd driver
removal from the kernel in this release.

Driver is still used and userspace tools for it are part of the udftools
project, which is still under active maintenance. More people already
informed me about this "surprise".

Any comments on this? Because until now nobody answered why this
actively used driver was removed from kernel without informing anybody:
