I've tested locally both 2.24 and 2.25 from pkg-util-linux and the
sample python script to format a drive using UDisks2 API still fails
with a timeout syncing after initial wipe.
I see no reason to revert that patch, given that UDisks still fails to
format drives, by default. And all that patch does is introduces an
extra option to be less safe.
I also have preliminary scripts to make this into an autopackagetest
using loop mounts.

At the moment though, udisks2 API users are a bit broken e.g. "Disks"
gui utility most importantly.

If there is an urgent desire to revert this harmless by-default patch,
I can stop using UDisks2 api in usb-creator altogether and instead use
something like pyparted or just manual set of low-level commands
(wipefs, mkfs, parted...)
