If other file managers provide a better/simpler UX, definitely it should IMO.

Eject for removables and umount for non-removables.

That wouldn't make things better, that we make it harder for USBs to be
ejected.

Definitely useful if people would wait around to let it appear, which people
wont.

We could show a different icon to distinguish between the two operations, if
that is what is acceptable.
