I am not so sure if you will be so pleased if your _data_ will also
*magically* go away if you were writing to this stick and pulled it
out without unmounting it first.  You may also end up with a
corrupted file system on that stick for additional attractions.
In case you do not know 'umount' is flushing buffers.  If you were
not writing to removable media then most likely nothing bad will
happen.

I was already pondering a bit to myself some time ago if encouraging
an uninformed behaviour is such great move.  Unfortunately only CDs
are locking drive doors and those are really safe here.  A long time
ago a floppy on a NeXT machine would not allow you to grab a mounted
floppy other than with a help of a straightened paper clip. :-)
