the partitions/usb should not be mounted if plugged in... only if someone or something ask for it...
- this can be a user clicking in nautilus
- a user clicking on a shortcut (pointing to something on a plugged in but still unmounted usb)
- or a program... like transmission, trying to find if something is already downloaded...
it should not only mount if the user ask so...
it should not mount if there is no need for it i guess... (don't really see a problem with just mounting... as the device is already plugged in... if users dont want the device checked out... don't plug it in... but i don't know my stuff on this subject :P... this is up for opinion.... the fact that it should be mounted if something ask for it ... shouldn't... it should just work...)
(maybe not mounting saves power?, if that is the case... if a device is no longer used for over 5 minutes, it should turn off again... (the default time is currently way longer... i think...))
