*sigh*. Then the default should have been to set
UDISKS_FILESYSTEM_SHARED to 1. Let people who *want* it in the new
"/run/media/$USER/mountdir" select it. And it's *still* a violation of
even the most recent filesystem hierarchy standards, which discuss the
use of "/run" and "/var/run" for pid files, not for removable media.
Files in /run are supposed to be scrubbed or truncated at boot time!!!

Think I can get any traction getting that default reset at this point?
