This one's my fault. I didn't realise that bit got exposed to userspace like that. James, do you want a replacement patch for the bad one, or an incremental one which restores the old spelling? BTW, the SCSI specs changed the name from CD-ROM to CD/DVD. I'd like to reflect that change in /proc/scsi/scsi; is there any userspace currently relying on that spelling?
