Well, the reason appears to be that cdrecord is not available in Fedora unless 
you install it yourself, Fedora has chosen to take the respected cdrecord name 
and put wodim in its place. This seems to me as ethical as selling replica Rolex 
watches, the user get something other than what they expect.

Real cdrecord seems to work correctly for Blu-Ray, and user would be far better 
served by not having any cdrecord in a Fedora system at all, and letting 
rpmfusion provide the real thing.

I would not be unhappy without cdrecord, I can supply it. Having a program 
pretending to be cdrecord which doesn't do Blu-Ray and seems not to do SVCD (I 
only tried a few, the files worked with real cdrecord) correctly. No, not much 
demand for SVCD.
