udev handles devices (ie. special files in /dev). udev does not handle
mount-points (ie. directories) in /media/, /mount/, /mnt/...
Software like gnome-volume-manager (others?) will create/delete
mount-points in /media/ by parsing data from udev and hald.
I don't know if there is an official declaration somewhere, but I suspect
that /media/ is for auto-generated mount-points and good old /mnt/ is for
'hand-made' ones.
