Ah even better. The original poster can subscribe to that bug and thus
get notified of any workarounds (other than those already published).
Personally i can think of another way to get the CD out, but that
would require a reboot.

Well from reading the link you posted it _is_ possible to get the CD
out of the drive using the workaround published.

I'm quite staggered that you think an entire OS release should be
delayed for this! I personally use my CDROM drive once in a blue moon.

I know each person has their own experience/issues with the system and
has their own perception of the importance of those issues. But
really, this one can't possibly be classed as "critical" by any
sensible measure.
