Not fixed at all based on bug description, does anyone pay attention anymore??
Only a volume that is unmounted will get the 'format' option in nautilus.  As far as removable volumes like usb 'sticks' there is no option in nautilus to unmount so consequently no format option

The only way to get this is to disable automount which then also
disables autoplay of optical media. (and once mounted no means within
nautilus to unmount

Status in gnome-disk-utility package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in gnome-disk-utility package in Fedora:

Bug description:
  As reported by GNOME, the new Format option when right-clicking on a
  USB stick doesn't actually format the device.

  This feature was added to nautilus with

  https://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/commit/?id=a73c8c773

  If we can't fix this before Saucy freezes, it would be better to not
  show the Format option in Nautilus.
