This is desired behavior.
The cdrom is always attached to the guest. The cdrom option doesn''t
necessary attach a cdrom but rather attaches the media to the already
existing cdrom. If you wish to later change the media, use the
"change"
option in the monitor.
Moving away from QEmu semantics is only going to make merging later more
difficult. You could perhaps add a check to Xend that remove the cdrom
option if media wasn''t present. Then can expose the user interface we
want without moving further away from QEmu.
