You got it wrong. cdcontrol *does not* eject the disk, it works
correctly, as it should. cdcontrol never ejects mounted media.
It triggers the situation where I can then press the eject key
on the cdrom and really eject the cdrom.

Nevertheless ejecting a mounted medium is wrong. And that's not
a feature. This is obviously a problem, regardless of how you
trigger it. Would you like to file a PR?
