Personally, I think the last thing we need is more context menus on

I might agree, but... how's having an undiscoverable feature worse  
than
not having the feature at all?

I'm open to alternative solutions, anyway. Would it be OK if keyboard
navigation just ignored the eject buttons?
It would perhaps be okay if there was an alternative (but equally  
direct) way for keyboard users to eject things, such as a keyboard  
shortcut when an ejectable device was selected on the desktop, or in  
the Nautilus sidebar or Computer view.  I was actually astonished  
when I just checked (for my reply to Dave elsewhere in this thread)  
that Nautilus didn't already have a context sensitive File->Eject  
menu option, which could presumably be bound to Ctrl+E or something.
The accessibility team would obviously need to confirm this opinion  
though :)
