I think its probably uninteresting to the majority of users to solve it
that way (not that its wrong that I can see). The desktops handle
automount/umount these days and if anything what would cover most bases
is to teach umount a new option/fstab flag so that it will handle the
device eject as it handles the non-root umount management.
