Are you referring to the File System Hierarchy (FHS 2.3) spec [1], published in 2004, or the FHS 3 (beta) spec from 2011 [2] ? Regardless, those specs (according to my reading) do not imperatively [3] require a /media directory for removable media. It would appear /media is preferable to legacy places like /mnt/cdrom, etc. They also do not disallow for /run/media/$UID, only stipulating that these areas be sensibly protected, which Fedora does. Perhaps It would be nice to retain /media for situations where seated users choose to mount media in an insecure (world accessible) way?
