The current suggestion was modeled after Solaris, which we've used as a 
role model in the past.

For something like /media or another more general scheme, I'd suggest to 
defer this discussion until we get something like a HAL/dbus 
infrastructure, and then think again on this whole thing.

For now, I'd like to stick to the KISS principle.
