Why do you think that type "umount" before "eject" is so difficult?

The umount(8) in F7 and F8 supports hal. You needn't "user" or
"pamconsole" option in your /etc/fstab. The umount(8) simply
redirects all to /sbin/umount.hal. It means you needn't consolehelepr
or whatever for hal mounts. This solution should be default on
desktop.
