I would like to congrat the Brasero supporters for their work during
the proposal of the module, they did a big amount of work to adapt
things towards the GNOME standards.
With such a vibrant community behind it (which I don't think is being
the case for the rest of our current burning related code), I would
like to express a big +1 for inclusion even if their work is not quite
there yet.
