Independent of whether the move from /media to /run/media/$USER is a
good idea, and I'm reserving judgment on that, clearly the behavior
I just described above is entirely unexpected by the user and

Oh, I don't know, maybe the alternative would be to mount devices
under /media instead of /run/media/$USER? Seriously.<br>
<br>
Or perhaps the system could keep track of mounted devices and when
the computer enters the same state as it was in when the device was
previously mounted, mount it again automatically.<br>
<br>
In other words, "If device <x> is mounted for $USER, and $USER
logs out or the system reboots while the device is still mounted,
and the same device is still available the next time $USER logs in,
then remount it in the same place it was mounted before." That would
be both intuitive and useful behavior. The current behavior is
neither. It's also not like the behavior of any other OS of which
I'm aware.<br>

I am not talking about static mounts. I'm talking about if I have a
removable device inserted / plugged in / whatever, then when I log
in, I should see it. This is what users expect. Period.<br>
