There's still a problem: cold-plugged media, or even warm-plugged media.
Cold-plugged (before boot) should be mounted under /media as soon as udisks2 runs.
Warm-plugged (after boot but before login) probably should be, too,
although there's room for discussion regarding /media/<label> versus
/run/media/$next_console_login/<label>, particularly for multi-seat operation
(Plugable.com, etc.), but particularly including login on either text or graphical
local console.

However, they aren't recognized [mounted] at all (not even upon subsequent graphical
login), and this is bad.  See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=722712
where there is some argument whether udisks2 or gvfs should bear the blame.

It can be handy to have a "permanently" mounted CD/DVD or USB2.0 flash device.
