My suggestion is to start *reading* libcdio-devel rather than merely using
as a public forum for griping.

One thread discussing this can be find at
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libcdio-devel/2012-02/index.html

One of the biggest problems in moving forward is that when the work goes on
and requests are made for comments and feedback there little or none.
Likewise, when I ask for people to try things out in advance of a release
(once a year) generally people and packagers don't.

That's okay, but then when decisions are made and releases are cut, sorry
it's too late to change things. Either figure out how to use the old code
-- maybe you can petition in your endearing way that FC should have
compatibility libraries -- or fix your code to work with the new.
