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?

This also shields mounts from different users from each other, which looks like a security measure. Apparently it can be changed to the old behaviour by udev-tagging devices with ID_SEAT=all, though. As for the /media -> /run/media change, I presume this was done to avoid having to clean up stale mount point directories after reboot?
