Hmmm....

Maybe I shouldn't make a fool of myself in public ;) but I used to, at
some point in the past, use /mnt itself as a mountpoint. However, that
was several years ago; nowadays I create subdirectories in /mnt like
most other Linux users.

Using /mnt directly is often done on other Unix-like operating
systems, so anybody still doing that today is probably coming over from
another Unix-like OS. (For instance, I'm logged into a Solaris 8 box in
another xterm, and I just checked if /mnt there has subdirectories. It
doesn't.)
