I agree about the effective use of developers' time. Nonetheless two points:
- In case a mounted drive contains multiple partitions, all would automatically
be mounted. Then you should perform unmount for each partition separately which
is repititive and boring. There might be options to override the default
behavior but it is not expected an ordinary user know how.
- Generally when a bug is reported, it means software did not perform to
expectations, left unattended it might show itself later - might return
mightier.

Missing Safely Remove Drive option from Quicklists. Only have
Eject.

Bug description:
In Ubuntu 12.04, I could right-click on my usb-external-harddrive's
Unity-Task-Bar icon (launcher icon) and select Safely Remove. Upon
doing this, the icon would disappear and I would proceed in unplugging
my external hard drive.
However, since upgrading to Ubuntu 12.10, this option is no longer
available in the context menus (Quicklists) for external drives.
Instead, all I see is Unmount, and after clicking Unmount the icon
remains on the task-bar (launcher) and no indication is given that
would imply that the unmount occurred successfully.
The intent of this report is to bring back the Safely Remove option
which (by making the icon disappear after selected) indicates that you
may now safely removal your USB external hard drive (by unplugging its
usb connector).
