[arch-general] [arch-dev-public] [RFC] the future of /media

[Kevin Chadwick]

> There are very good reasons for this change (mainly security),

I think it had very little to do with security, unless you count
device type privacy information from folder names. I use /media/usb? and
they are accessible only by root and whichever user mounted it,
logically findable by order of mount.

I believe the reason was so that it was in a filesystem meant for
dynamic files (this feature is really irritating for some default
labels but I guess a little prettier otherwise and for multi-seat).

I have udisks 1 and 2 installed but use neither. I have permanent
folders in /media/. Will /media/ changes by pacman simply fail and
everything continue happily or will I simply have to recreate or make
them immutable?
