Why?

Well, times when Archlinux installed cdrtools are long gone. I doubt its useful today. I still use cdrtools & since i dont want to add it to my pacman.conf i always get asked if i want to replace it. I would like that gone.
Again i dont think the replaces line is of any use today. One would have to use a 1,5 year old current CD to deal with that.

First off, I know the package is out of date, thanks. It's been flagged, that's what flagging is for. I don't need to be reminded in bugreports. Sorry I'm slow; patience is a virtue.

That said, the usage of replaces is technically correct here - the package was introduced to replace cdrtools. To remove it simply to make things easier on you, because you "don't want to add it to your pacman.conf" is silly. I'll consider it if there's huge demand, but for now, this isn't a bug.
