What if some program, like my backup software, began to write on the key
when I decide to unplug it ? It will be corrupted unless I manually
unmounted it, and the notification is the fastest and easiest way to do
that. I don't want to open a terminal, type 'sudo umount /dev/sdb1' and
give my password each time I unplug my key.

And, what is the point of having an "Eject" option if just unplugging
the key is safe ? Windows also unmounts USB keys when they are
unplugged, and that doesn't make it safe.
