as someone who uses their machine to produce binary image builds for imaging to sd cards this is incredibly frustrating
. Not least that
'safely removing
' means that the media needs replugging

We also ship GNOME
, and will ship others
. So unless this feature is shared by all DEs it
's not something we can apply selectively
