Guess I should have said absence rather than elimination.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

My uninformed opinion is that the edit is unwarranted and confusing. 

In fact I'd say the edit weaseled the caveat more or less out of
existence. Apparently the "some"* that "believe it would be better"
don't know about the complexity of the variables involved, nor that what
is burnt on device A isn't necessarily readable on device B (but remains
readable on device A?), the implication being they're attributing to the
software what can be ascribed to other, unrelated factors.

* Thomas Schmitt, developer of xorisso (who probably knows his
* shit), of which Keeling was well aware, of course, when he made the
* edit.
