Heh. I've been the maintainer of the real libburn (http://icculus.org/burn/) for another distro for a long time, and the forker claimed that my package was broken since it referenced the "old" URL of the project. That was after calling for project revival[0] and after the libburn project leader dismissed it[1]. It's cool that they now switched to another name, perhaps the Fedora package could do the same. > They've been progressing quite well from what I can tell.

The idea of a generic CD-writing library seems like a worthy long-term goal, but for FL7, cdrkit, being a free drop-in replacement of S(ch)illy's programs, could probably do the trick.
