Well, the problem is who to please. For average users, you only ever see
"Eject" or "Safely Remove" From Windows and MacOS. That's because the
average user just wants to plug in their thumb drive and move stuff.
Nothing more to it.

It seems that GNOME is trying to appease all parties. While not quite a
Tragedy of the Commons, it's certainly a little cluttered and confusing
to the same user from the other two OSes. Should we just leave the
advanced, "Unmount" option to the command line and keep the GUI
accessible to the casual users? I may be wrong, but I think that maybe
Fedora 9 used only a "Safely Remove Drive" option. There's a lot of
possibilities here.

You could try arguing with the GNOME devs on the bug report or on the
mailing list, but they usually don't listen much to outside opinion :).

"Unmount" in volume right-click menu, is tech-speak and undiscoverable
