This was argued to death a few weeks ago on linux-kernel. It was in
reference to floppy disks and cdroms being ejected, but the topics
discussed also pertain to removable media on USB.
The end result of all the discussion? Nothing is going to be changed for

it doesn't look like anyone is going to be changing this anytime soon.
