Oh, I know I can configure gnomes autoplay, but what I would want is
the autoplay to occur when I physically insert a disk, but not when
hal (or some underlying gvm layer) is restarted due to an upgrade.

Imagine someone with a slow connection starting a system upgrade and
leaving their apartment, only to return and find their music blasting
and some angry neighbors.  A hypothetical situation, but I'm sure
there are situations where you would not want the content of your
removable media to start playing unexpectedly.
