Kernel team, are you fine with making this change in karmic? (Switching the default value of /proc/sys/dev/cdrom/lock to 0). They are currently discussing making that change upstream.

If not, I'll hack it into a sysctl script somewhere, but it'd be both subject to race conditions (see previous comment), and also just busywork (shipping one default in the kernel, but unconditionally changing it during boot).

Thanks for any comment,

Martin
