It's the built-in way. I would think, if Apple felt it was dangerous, they
would have done something differently. This works fine, other than the fact
you have to wait until it de-activates active packages. BTW, I understand
that the process is better on 1x0 models, because we have the switch that,
when flipped, warns you, so you don't have to actually eject the card, and
thus go through another eject/insert cycle, which, IIRC, is the whole issue,
is it not?
