does cdrecord work these days?

[Jon Masters]

Yo,

So growisofs in F8T3 seems to be able to actually burn a DVD, but
cdrecord, while about to scan a bus, won't burn using any of the options
I've historically used, and do in fact use on RHEL5.

Question is, should it (where it is whatever reincarnation exists these
days since whatever latest issue of cdrecord played out...) be working
or am I encountering known behavior?

Jon.
