/media, /mnt, /run and automounting

As of Fedora15, a new directory under root was introduced. A couple of quotes:
i.e. /var is "persistant runtime data" and /run
is "volatile runtime data", and /etc is "persistant system config
data", and so on.
...
only early boot stuff should use /run, for now
I am running F18 with the default Gnome desktop and am very new to it. This morning I noticed that automounting defaults to /var/media. Why is that? When are /media, /mnt and /run/mount used?

It doesn't answer your question, but you may be interested in what the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard has to say about /mount and /mnt. pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#MEDIAMOUNTPOINT

/runis a centralized place for all sorts of volatile runtime data, pulling together stuff previously scattered all over the place./mediais gone,/mntis the traditional place for the system administrator to mount stuff temporarily (e.g. an external disk for backups).

Forgot that recently removable media are mounted under /run/media/username, so only that user has access to them.
