Well, I for one would rather not give a user the option to screw themselves to 
this magnitude with a simple "emerge cdrtools".  There's people that aren't 
reading this list, and aren't going to know what's going on.  It's unfair to 
them.

The only way I see this similar is if the kernel actually had subdirectories 
containing said binary modules.

We have an alternative stated [1].  I think we need to focus more on the 
problems of using the alternative, then dealing with what some consider to be 
a rather sketchy legal dispute.
