It's not a bug as /dev/dvd is a mere convenience for the user - a |
| 14 |
nickname if you will. You are highly unlikely to find a standards doc |
| 15 |
of any kind stating the symlink should be there. Which means if it's |
| 16 |
not there, you get to make your own convenient nicknames. |

/dev/harddrive has never existed, right? Same with /dev/dvd and |
| 19 |
friends. make them if you want, but you can't expect them to be there |
| 20 |
and their absence is not a bug. |

Obviously someone left them out of the rules files. Maybe they had a |
| 23 |
reason, maybe they got lazy. Either way you get to add your own rules |
| 24 |
to get the names YOU want. |

It really is as simple as that, don't overthink this one. |
