They are created on insertion and deleted on removal. Hence, there is no need to preserve the contents of /media and having it on tmpfs makes sense. That said, it seems to be agreement among the upstream devs that /media is a broken concept and systemd/udisks will likely introduce a user specific replacement, which will no longer be in the root fs. -t
