Which is a bug.  Devices in /mnt shouldn't need navigation - the user
should be able to simple open removable volumes.  Refusing one possible
interface design simply because of another unsolved but certainly
solvable interface problem is a bit silly.

There's already a discussion going on accessing these media, lets see
how well that can tie in with spatial navigation - we may be surprised. 
Or find out it still sucks.  Won't know till we try, tho.  ;-)
