We have some contradictory claims about what's possible and what's
supported upstream:

A quick Google search reveals there's a nice following of users[1] who
have been using this method for a while. This is why I'd like to make it
official. The livecd-iso-to-disc script has support for this already.

You will have to fork the script for this, because the upstream
maintainer of the script does not want to support this officially. I
already asked for this a long time ago. Back then anaconda supported
to loop-mount iso images, which made it all very easy and useful,
but this has gone. :-(
Is there a bug or ticket which is tracking the recent instance of the
request?
It does seem nice to have an officially supported command-line tool
for writing ISOs to CD/DVD, though we have several good graphical ones
mentioned in the official guide:

I'm wondering if livecd-iso-to-disk isn't going to be that, is there
another favorite utilty that Fedora could adopt? I know "dd" now
works for USB drives, but I assume not for CDs and DVDs?
