It depends which kind of user you are... :-)

Most users won't have a clue of what sda1 mean... but they'll understand 
Removable Device.

It's a no-no for me, since it doesn't address a real need. Maybe what needs to 
be fixed is the way the name is shortened in konqi... Not the default naming 
scheme.
