No, they weren't forgotten. Upstream dropped the /dev/cdrom and
/dev/dvd* symlinks long ago, we just carried them a little longer. This
concept of static symlinks has shown to be unreliable with hardware
changes (as you noticed yourself when changing the SCSI drive), and
modern desktops and CD handling software should not assume any of these
links any more but instead ask sysfs or libudev about available CD
drives and their capabilities.

Bug description:
I am not sure how long this has been, but trying to watch a movie I noticed I don't have any symlinks to /dev/cd,dvd* pointing to sr0. looking in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules I noticed that ENV{ID_PATH}=="pci-0000:00:1f.2-scsi-1:0:0:0" was the wrong address and a simple change pci-0000:00:1f.2-scsi-0:0:0:0 creates the symlinks.
(doing udevadm info --query=all --name=sr0 gives the address, but _we_ all know normal everyday working people are not going to know how to do something like that!)
