I do something like this too. Perhaps this is a better idea all the way
around than having a single root-level temporary mount point like /mnt.

Of course, if /mnt could be done away with altogether this way, then it
would be reasonable to end the debate over whether to call the
"removable mount points" directory /vol, /media, or whatever, by simply
calling it /mnt the way some other distros already do...
