Comment:
I definitely think a notification icon would be a very good idea.
Whether or not it should be one or severel can certainly be discussed.

The argument for multiple icons, would be that the behavior of cds and
usb-sticks are quite different. CDs would probably be ejected, while
usb-stick/HDs would be "safely removed".

There could be a setting in gnome-volume-manager to prevent certain
devices to be displayed in the NA. I think it is safe to assume that
people using external usb-drives will be able to figure that out.

Thinking of it, the whole notification stuff probably belongs to gnome-
volume-manager... Still let's not forget Nautilus' "Remove Safely" menu
entry.
