So you justify breaking existing setups by claiming the new configuration is more "sensible". How many times? How often? Every breakage is still a regression in my eyes. >> b) unwanted auto-mounting > > HAL will not do auto-mounting by itself.

Continously polling all removable storage is a very bad default IMHO. And why do it if there's no daemon listening for the events anyway? Yes, I know it can be disabled. Having to disable such things to avoid power consumption, noise and wear regressions is still annoying. An the design sucks. Daemons wanting events from a polling source should register with the poller, and polling should be disabled by default until such a daemon registered itself.
