   I'm not going pro or anti this at this stage, as I'm still on FC4, but 
xine/k3b/etc. should be OK as they'll be accessing the raw device (e.g., 
/dev/dvd) not the mounted fs, esp. in the case of burning (k3b).

   I can see it may become a tad annoying from a command-line point of view, 
but it's not significantly different from the USB-stick [etc.] /mnt → /media 
jump which started using device IDs instead of fixed (but potentially 
different due to counting) names, and I think I prefer that.
