Thank you for your suggestion. However, the changes you are requesting
aren't really a bug and require more discussion, which should be done on
an appropriate mailing list or forum.
http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/mailinglists might be a good
start for determining which mailing list to use.
Why it is worse to be able to format removable media than to just delete the
data on it (which every regular user can do as well)? Or do you suggest only
allowing read-only access for normal users? I think that would make things
worse and lead to situations like in Windows XP (IIRC), where you had to be an
administrator to burn a CD, resulting in most working with administrator rights
all the time.
I'm also unmarking this bug as "security" as this is an intended behavior of
gnome-disk-utility.
** Changed in: gnome-disk-utility (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Invalid
** This bug is no longer flagged as a security vulnerability
