The important thing here is that a decision to standardise has been made, which can only benefit developer and end-user alike.
That's perfectly reasonable -- but the FSH doesn't mention /media.
True, but that's the reason SuSE provides in their 7.2 Update manual. Version 2.2 of the FHS is dated May; didn't SuSE 7.2 come out June/July? I expect it will show in later versions.
Well, actually in was in there, but someone decided to pull it back out before releasing the final 2.2 version. Seems we were a bit too fast in implementing /media... But /cdrom and /floppy were not defined as well, so it does not really matter. This is one of the FHS issues that come up and are being debated every once in a while and it seems like the FHS people will never actually define it. Unfortunately the FHS does not have a clear process for defining and voting for such things. They don't even have a list archive... But I should stop ranting.
