There are devices that can be "Powered Down", "Ejected" or "Safely
Removed" manually. The problem I see here is that Ubuntu 10.04 alpha 2
still uses these terms slightly incorrect. E.g. when I connect my mobile
through USB I can "Safely Remove" or "Eject" it. I never saw it jumping
out of the USB slot when I chose "Eject". We should keep discussing
these terms until confusion is fixed.

With mount/unmount I definitely see no problem! It is a weak argument
that these terms are not well known by people in the real world. Who
knows how to "delete" a real folder then?? Using Ubuntu means entering
the Linux/Unix world and there you cannot ignore the existence of
partitions. You even cannot do this in fuzzy windows world. Hiding
"Unmount" just hides a part of the concept about partitions, and THAT
would be confusing.

However I do agree to unmount all partitions implicitly when a device or
media is powered down, ejected or removed.

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