your re-definition of "remote" to make things like floppys and
tapes fit there is interesting. but my issues is rather with
"systems" - i tend strongly to think that's refering to, y'know,
systems. boxes. computers. i imagine an entry in /n for each
box on the network you care about reaching, and that's it.
everything else i'd probably put in /mnt. this use of /n also
matches my understanding of its historical origin - am i
correct on this?

and for those of you who're wondering why any of this
matters... well, it's questionable whether it does. but there
certainly is value to having the file system as cleanly
organized as possible. there are other places that could use
cleaning up, too: /lib vs. /sys/lib, source for acme programs
under /acme (or maybe just /acme itself)... but i doubt any
of these are really worth spending much time on unless the
folks at the Labs express some interest (which i doubt -
they've got day jobs and better things to be doing, thankfully).
