@Timmie: This kind of "new behavior" which breaks everythink that was
carefully configured before, annoys me as well.

I'm using several applications (unison in particular) on external
drives, and all those the configuration files made references to
/media/<label>, not /run/media/<username>/<label>, not to
/media/<username>/<label>

It's especially annoying for tools such as Unison which have a database
of all changes made on disks, and can't refer to the correct names
because it has arbitrary changed, so you must forget all the previous
history and build a new one, which is long and tedious for huge external
drives.

Come on, who is ever using a Linux Desktop for several users, AND at the
same time needs security so they can plug different usb keys or external
drives simultaneously? In more than 99% of the cases, it won't be
necessary, and in the rare cases it could be necessary (multiseat), this
kind of behavior could be set as an option, for example in a damn
/etc/udisks2.conf

On the other hand, if security was such an issue,
/media/<username>/<label> could still have been kept, but the
permissions for the folder could have been set in r/w only for the one
who had inserted the key. After all, it doesn't prevent security to have
/home/user1 and /home/user2 under the same folder.

For my part I could "fix" this by installing udisks (v1) and removing
udisks2 and all its dependencies (including gnome, mate etc).
