Uh, IMO this is at least for linux no good idea.
1) Currently it doesn't matter (IIRC) if the device is ready, if the device 
isn't it get polled again in 2 seconds.
2) this effect also other devices than only CD/DVD devices
3) ... and what's more important: With this change HAL need in the worst case 
10 seconds to detect that the eject button of the device was pressed. This 
would make a big regression to the users. 

I can't see why we should change it to 10 sec. atm.
