About Panther and DVD+R/RW…

MacFixIt (http://www.macfixit.com) is reporting that Panther may include DVD+R/RW support. Assuming I could then put a Pioneer or Sony dual format in my dual 1.25 G4 and get it work using both disk formats, this would drive me to Panther even if I would not otherwise go there. I, for one, hope this is true. I’d like the choice of being to work in either format.
