"The switch to MTP is annoying"

Even more annoying is, no option to choose the good old bulk storage mode. Though it would have been easy to do that, Google, in its infinite smartness... oh well.

Providing bulk-storage mode is actually NOT trivial. It requires unmounting of sdcard and exposing it as a block device over USB.

More and more apps now use the internal sdcard all the time, so it's becoming progressively more complicated.
