There is a major security flaw with this new functionality, why should
non-admin users be permitted to format storage?

Formatting using existing tools such as gparted require a sudo password,
but now Linux bypasses this obvious security requirement for some
nebulous user convenience, what is this OS becoming, Windows?

Fine that users with Administration rights have this sort of
functionality, but non-admin users should not have this capability
either through Nautilus or the Disk Utility.

I'm putting in a security bug now over this.
