ide-cd doesn't replace ide-scsi?

Note: results are with 2.6.13 (-gentoo-r4 + supermount) and 2.6.14 (-gentoo)
I've been struggling with burning DVD+R DL discs and upgrading the firmware on
my DVD burner, and just today decided to rmmod ide-cd and try using ide-scsi.
Turns out it works... so is ide-cd *supposed* to handle cases other than
simple reading and burning or is this a bug? If not a bug, should ide-scsi
really be marked as deprecated?
Also, two bugs with ide-scsi:
1. On loading the module, it detects and allocates 6 SCSI devices for a single
DVD burner (Toshiba ODD-DVD SD-R5272); kernel log for this event attached
2. On attempted unloading of the module, rmmod says 'Killed' and the module
stays put, corrupt. There was some kind of error in dmesg, but it appears to
have avoided syslog-- If I see it again, I'll save it.
