This is good news. But what's a wodim? It appears to be the command line burning portion of cdrkit, but it would have been nice to have that explained. It would be fun to know the meaning behind the word, too. If it's an acronym, it would be easier to remember.

It could be Word of Deliverance Insititutional Ministries, Inc.

Or, just maybe, it's Write Optical Disc IMage (a guess...)

A: It is not a forest troll and not a winner of the inpronounceability
contest. It was simply the next alternative to wom (Writes Optical Media)
which was unfortunately already used by other software products.
