I talked to bill nottingham about it - he didn't seem opposed to
/srv
but a bit annoyed by /media
I don't think it matters fhs compliance is a must, imo.
/srv - well, there's no real *other* good place for this stuff, so,
go for it.
/media, though, as a standard, is *completely* wrongheaded. Standardizing
device names and mountpoints, when they should be left up to
sysadmin discretion. Moreover, it doesn't even completely standardize
them; there's holes in the naming. And, in any case, all of this
information should be exposed to user space via names created
by udev, and by a library interface such as HAL; not by a standard
that's always going to be playing catchup with new device types.
