This is exactly my point. Every last problem of sudo is taken seriously, while everyone seems to give polkit a pass. Maybe there's another way around this: A daemon, running as root, that senses something being plugged in, and mounts it. Since it's running as root, no sudo or polkit needed. And, a facility by which a normal user can tell this daemon to mount or unmount some specific thing.
