That depends...  If it's its own data, there's no problem.  Some example
program can look for /media/example-disc-1 and ask for it by name if
it's not already mounted.

But that sort of thing would be stuffed up by trying to find what it
presumes to be a standard /media/cdrom if my PC has /media/cdwriter, and
that is the old way of doing things.
