You misunderstand me. What I meant was what was wrong with /mnt that made the Fedora
devs decide to create /media to do the same job?
I didn't misunderstand you. Your question wasn't clear.
I don't know the answer to your real question. It may not be a Fedora direction but a
direction of Linux in
general? Maybe someone who knows the history of it will answer? I'm not curious
enough to
research it.
