rewrite the mediamanager to support udisks2. This is out ofquestion and tit was

Which is silly. A simple operation like requesting to mount a disk
has to be considered a basic operating system service. It doesn't make
sense to have several competing deamons implement that. It also
doesn't make sense to change the function signature for that
operation all the time. There needs to be a stable API for such a
feature. GNOME is not the only user of the function. Think of it
like a basic shared library, just implemented via DBus.
It's probably fine if Mr. Z decides that the model he used in the
backend is suboptimal and that he needs to rewrite everything in order
for the disk partitioning front-end of GNOME to be even more prettier.
The rewrite should keep the common API parts stable though. Shared
library speak: adding new functions is fine, modifying or deleting
existing ones is not.
I also wonder why it was necessary to change the console commands from
udisks --mount /dev/sdc1
to
udisksctl mount --block-device /dev/sdc1 --no-user-interaction
