Good luck with that. In a world where udisk2 was the only thing that
mounted in /run/media/$user/medianame directories, that could be maybe
relied on. But it's reliant on well behaved applications to follow a
standard overlaid on top of a misreading of the file system hierarchy

As soon as someone else follows the _practice_ of mounting things in
/run/media, and doesn't follow the extra and underdocumented
requirements of protecting /run/media/$username, you're in trouble.

Sorry, it was an unnecessary change from day one. /media was already
specified for just such removable media uses.
