I fail to see the problem here... The directory where you mount the CD
is quite arbitrary, e.g., I always mount everything in /mnt/
subdirectories. The first day I want to mount something I create the
dir I want it mounted to, I add the corresponding entry in /etc/fstab,
and it stays forever... I never thought creating the dir automatically
was a feature, or failing to a bug; I always do it by hand. And,
however, you only do it once, right? And upgrading the kernel won't
remove any dir (e.g. /media/cdrom0) that was previously present, will
it?

The problem I could see is having missing _device_ files (say,
/dev/hdc) when upgrading the kernel (I wrote to another thread on the
subject), but not missing dirs...
