Mountpoint madness: udisks and why I love FreeBSD the most

This is not intended to be a flame post. Really!
As you probably know I use Linux, Kubuntu for what it matters (and it does matter!) on all my main machines (I mean pretty much every one on which I develop), and FreeBSD on servers (whenever it is possible) and dedicated machines. It is my choice, it not has to be the right choice, but it is a choice. Also you should know I’m not quite happy with Ubuntu and its family, but so far it works for me and I’m quite used to the Ubuntu approach.
Anyway, in order to see what is lying around, I tend to test here and there some distros, and so it turned out now I’ve a backup computer running Fedora.
Today I plugged in the Fedora machine my USB stick, and found it mounted at
/run/media/luca/FLUCA
that is /run/media/$USERNAME/$LABEL instead of what I was expecting, such as
/media/luca/FLUCA
how Kubuntu does.
Uhm…some udev rules in the middle? No way!
So I start searching here and there for a configuration file, or something systemd related that could trigger that strange mount point abuse, but without any success. Until I discovered that there is another responsible: udisks. Long (and not interesting) story short: a D-BUS daemon that enables device management from an User Interface like KDE, Gnome and you name your favourite.
What the fuck, I suspect FreeBSD is a lot more simpler here: devd(5) (the corresponding partner of Linux udev) and that’s all. After all, it is what is used even for FreeBSD jails!
However, what is even worst is that it seems udisks hardcoded the mount point path and Ubuntu has patched it to move to a more reasonable place. Are we back in time and still hardcoding paths? After all, who am I to criticize some piece of software that I don’t know and I would not been able to write decently?

Now, let’s review the target mount points as they are described in the File System Hierarchy FHS version 3:

• /media is described as a place to mount removable media, like zip disks;
• /mnt is described as a temporary mount point for system administrator. I often use the example of mounting an ISO image to extract some programs into the base system;
• /run is described as directory for containing variable run-time information, what it was /var/run when I was young! Moreover, the documentation states that such directory should not be writable by non administrator users.

Therefore, for God’s sake, what is the point of making /run/media a user-based mount point?
What is the point in having a mount point hardcoded?
Why using udev and udisks on the very same machine?

Seems sometimes Linux goes too far for what my poor brain can handle. And that brings again up why I do love FreeBSD the most: things tend to be always the same. Because it does not sound to me that these changes are innovations, rather they are, in my opinion, revolutions.

As a final disclaimer, I’m not an udev guru, not even a systemd one, not even a devd expert, but chances are I can set up devd in less more time (and with less errors) than handling the former two correctly!
