Where do you figure that? Every time I install a USB storage device it's
automatically mounted, and yes, it's mounted at /media/<label> (provided a
partition label exists). Why _shouldn't_ udev mount? Hotplug could, and
udev replaces it. Non-removable storage is not automatically mounted
(though it could be if you wanted it), but removables are handled
differently.
