Pitti, I don't agree on this. Suppose the following use case:

- the user inserts a data cd on drive. let it here, and goes away
- for any reason (electricity down, another user, whatever), the machine is rebooted.
- the cd will now be mounted at boot time as root (which is a specific use case for say, file servers)
- now the cd is root's property, and can't be ejected for regular users.

So, should we disable automounting of removable devices before a user session? I think that in desktop case, yes.
