I like /srv too, and like someone else on this list I associate /media with 
movies and music.  In fact, when I first saw /media I thought "that's a great 
idea: often the users on the same desktop system like to share media, so have 
a public directory for it"... then I read what it was.

However, I do see an advantage to being FHS compliant... programs might look 
to /media/cdrom for instance, but then we could just symlink /srv to /mnt and 
find it there.

My vote then, for our default setup, is to add the /srv directory and use it 
as intended, and symlink the /media directory to /mnt.  That way we're FHS 
compliant and users who are sticky about it and easily delete the symlink or 
replace it with an actual directory.  (Hmm... does that mean that fstab 
should point to /media/cdrom by default?)
