The author claims that cdrkit is buggy and based on an old version of
cdrtools.
He always defended that burning should be done as root, and that cdrecord
should be made suid.

That is the same thing k3b suggests, but Fedora has suppressed its system
checking during compilation,
right?

In my case, I make cdrdao and cdrecord (wodim) suid (4755), but I am using
cdrkit.

For burning an iso image using cdrecord (a symbolic link to wodim), just do:

cdrecord -v -eject speed=24 dev=/dev/cdrom some_file.iso

Works just fine.
