Concerning mounting flash drives with "sync" as default, in my view this should only be done *until* the underlying problem is corrected. Using "sync" is not really solving the problem, it's just camouflaging it.
Bear also in mind that we are talking about a regression here: this worked perfectly in Dapper! Moreover, since it's all too easy to lose data over this, I agree with others who have said that this bug should be marked "Critical".
One question: does the problem affect only kubuntu or is it also present upstream?
