removing backends in isrcsubmit2 about musicbrainz-isrcsubmit HOT 3 OPEN

Personally, I think you might as well depend solely on libdiscid for future releases. Non-rolling releases likely won't update to 0.4.0/1.0 right away anyway, and may just as well pull in libdiscid when they do.

Well, but currently there are two features that are still only available with other backends:

1. LIB-11 raw ISRCs (somewhat rare)
2. LIB-25 ISRCs in CD-TEXT (rare)

That means I would keep cdrdao (CD-TEXT) and mediatools (raw ISRCs) at least in the beta releases.
When these features are implemented in libdiscid, I could drop the backends. Possibly that happens before the 2.0.0 release.

Being implemented and released in libdiscid is enough though. I don't need for the changes to propagate to distributions for the reasons you stated. On Windows and Mac OS X I provide complete packages anyways.

LIB-11 from #5791, called raw ISRC, is not that rare, in my experience:

• it is rare among good quality full size CD drives (or burners) — I have a NEC something only, never seen problem.
• it is very frequent in slim CD drives (or burners) — I have tested many slims of several brands (Samsung, etc.), they all had this bug when not using the secure repeated raw algorithm described in those tickets (that mediatools provides)
