I don't, I believe that pmount is buggy and this is a security hole.
While you can be pretty much sure that every USB and firewire device is
removable, the same is not true for MMC devices.

This is also related to #402649 (which I am not actually sure is a
regression, I do not remember special-casing USB block devices in the
past).
It may be a viable strategy to consider every usb and firewire block
device to be removable, but I would not extend this to MMC devices.
Advice is welcome.
