In general "mount" is related to copulation. On Unixes it is something with filesystems but people live in real world more than they do in Unix world. The desire to avoid the word "mount" is rational - it is explained in bug description, comment #23, #26, #41, #67. Yes, users are irrational but there is nothing we can do about it. "Power down" - and some user will come and scream that just powering down is dangerous and he also wants to to unmount the filesystem. In fact he does not. He typically wants to remove the hardware and instructs OS to do whatever is needed for that - including perhaps unmounting, feeding the gnomes, checks if right falange is good or whatever.
