This way the users have the power to use the version that works best for them, instead of forcing them one over the other. K3b allows the users to choose which binary you want to run, if you use k3b, you may also use others which by default use wodim. There are some CD brands which original cdrecord does not like and wodim does follow through with the burn +1 for wodim There are problems encountered with cdwriting permissions and burning fails with wodim +1 for original cdrecord I have read about the controversies and the nasty messages between the developers, but it should be up to the user what he/she wants to do.
