Is there a technical reason for introducing the /media directory for mounting various devices instead of continuing with the old convention of using the /mnt directory? I do not see a justifiable reason and that is why I am posting this question. My opinion is that unnecessary deviations from the old convention only adds to the confusion.

/media is File Hierarchy Standard compliant. /mnt is depreciated (means no longer supported). But you should be able to create /mnt mount points if you feel more comfortable with them. I have not installed FC3, yet, but I think that I can get used to using /media vice /mnt.
