Re: /mnt/cdrom or /mnt ?

Keep the / as clean as possible,

Suggestions for /mnt

/mnt/tmp	temp (what uses to be /mnt)
/mnt/loop	for loopback devices
/mnt/cdrom
/mnt/floppy	(/mnt/jazz, /mnt/zip, etc)
/mnt/remote	or /mnt/nfs for temp nfs mounts
/mnt/win	if you have windows partitions

Other suggestion is to use even more tree like structure with something like

/mnt/tmp
/mnt/loop/[0-9]
/mnt/cdrom/[0-9]
/mnt/floppy/[0-9]

For example If you have two cdroms mounted one can be at /mnt/cdrom/0/ and
another can be at /mnt/cdrom/1/, or if you have two windows partitions it
can be /mnt/win/0 (or /mnt/win/c) and /mnt/win/1 (or /mnt/win/d)

This is part of FHS, but how does FHS relate to LSB, LSB is going to use
FHS? Does it make FHS part of LSB?
