"The FHS specifies that /media should be used as the mountpoint for removeable media. The udisks2 change to use /run/media instead is an unwarranted divergence from the standard and from existing practice, violating the expectations of experienced users and possibly breaking user scripts / symlinks.

Please fix udisks to move its mounts back to /media."

I've been looking the commits and found http://cgit.freedesktop.org/udisks/commit/?id=502fb5b7810afb50e48354e6b4d1781d07f79e10 but it has no real rational for the change nor pointer to a discussion,bug with details.

I guess there is a motivation behind the change, is it documented somewhere. Would you consider having the behaviour optional for distributions which prefer to keep respecting the FHS location?
