Indeed, I had a similar thought on my evening walk: This works well
for USB sticks and the like, but the /dev/sr0 node for CDs always
stays around after eject. IOW, you get a change event, not a remove
one. This is also why the cleanup in udisks 1.x (probably) didn't
actually work.

That sounds good indeed! I can sit down at qemu tomorrow and simulate
some CD insertions/removals, and come up with an udev rule for this.
