We have some contradictory claims about what's possible and what's supported upstream:

As far as I know, this is not currently expected to work, nor is it tested. If it worked at all in the past, it was an accident.
A quick Google search reveals there's a nice following of users[1] who have been using this method for a while. This is why I'd like to make it official. The livecd-iso-to-disc script has support for this already.

You will have to fork the script for this, because the upstream maintainer of the script does not want to support this officially. I already asked for this a long time ago. Back then anaconda supported to loop-mount iso images, which made it all very easy and useful, but this has gone. :-(
Is there a bug or ticket which is tracking the recent instance of the request?
It does seem nice to have an officially supported command-line tool for writing ISOs to CD/DVD, though we have several good graphical ones mentioned in the official guide:

I'm wondering if livecd-iso-to-disk isn't going to be that, is there another favorite utilty that Fedora could adopt? I know "dd" now works for USB drives, but I assume not for CDs and DVDs?
