You mentionned the other one : if someone, for a given reason, wants to get rid of the original gaps on purpose, it will be possible from the copy only if indexes zero were copied with a cuesheet from the original CD.

There is still a problem with the default method of appending gaps to the next track, in terms of there being a pregap before track 1. Since EAC completely dismisses this gap (since there is no previous track to append it to), you lose that bit of silence at the beginning.
As such, the gap is gone and the CD's TOC will look different, and in essence, this isn't a perfect copy, especially if you want your copy to hash out a similar workman (old UNIX program) offset string or a CDDB value.
I emailed Andre personally on this issue, because while the musical data is perfectly preserved, on CDs (with pregaps before track) 1, the CD is not perfectly replicated, whether you want to be a purist about it, want to preserve the identical experience, or just care about the thing popping up CDDB when you put it in. (Yes, I know abou CD-Text, and use it, but there could be other reasons to want this functionality, and if we CAN do it, why not?)
