cdrom module?

I'm not a member of this list, but I had a question.... Is there any
particular reason why a cdrom block device isn't a module (like the
floppy)? Forgive me if this is no longer true (I'm using kernel
2.0.25), but it would be very convinient for us who run linux on a
laptop with a swappable cdrom/floppy. I have to boot with the cdrom
in first in order for it to be recognized. So if I boot with the
floppy inserted first, I can't use the cdrom until the next boot.

Just thought I'd ask....
