Sorry I didn't notice this earlier...

What's the reason for that?  With a real removable device, like a CD 
player, it doesn't make any difference whether the medium was ejected 
because of a SCSI command or because I pressed the "eject" button.

I just don't see any point in keeping track of the two actions 
separately, since they end up having the same final result.
