Let's hope so. :-)

Nice, that you begun with devices/, of course I highly needed... and 
apparently sooner than I expected.

Ok, small modifications I propose over your version:
 dvd-unmount             -> media-optical-video-dvd
 ipod-unmount            -> multimedia-player-ipod
 memory-stick-unmount    -> media-flash-memory-stick
 usbpendrive-unmount     -> drive-removable-media-usb-pendrive

And that means we lack proper fallback versions for multimedia-player, 
media-flash and media-optical-video.

1) multimedia-player
I think we should really have something neutral for this one, unlike the ipod 
one we have currently... So that means 'yet another icon' sorry guys.

2) media-flash
We have no fallback for this one, but I'm not sure if it's really needed, the 
icons we have cover all the possible cases currently... So for now I'd live 
without the fallback here. But putting a branded memory stick as fallback 
looks wrong to me.

3) media-optical-video
In any case, we'll need a generic icon like the one we have for 
media-optical-audio. Then the question is, do we want the dvd, hddvd, blueray 
ones? (that would mean four icons in total for the media-optical-video 
namespace: media-optical-video-dvd, media-optical-video-hddvd, 
media-optical-video-blueray and media-optical-video itself)

Other than that I think I agree with your whole proposal. Very good job, and 
I'm very thankful that I didn't have to do it myself (as I was about to do). 
In case I'd notice something later I'll be sure to shoot and insult the 
culprits (not necessarily in that order) as appropriate. :-)

Well, I tend to think I should stay out of the renaming of the icon 
themselves, since I prefer to let the people actually making the icons to 
manage the renaming how they prefer it. But for sure, I'll adjust the code 
which use those icons (granted that with solid around the corner, media:/ and 
system:/ going away this code is probably minimum right now).

Regards.
