By all means I'm not trying to tell KDE not to do. I'm not the one to do that, and besides I too like innovation. I'd like a KDE way of doing things, such as making hardware access 'just work', transparently to the user.

But media:/ and system:/ and home:/ are not new ways of doing things, they are just new ways of calling things. Same old things, new names, new misunderstandings, new breakage. Worst of all, new filesystems to learn. Real innovation would be getting rid of all filesystems in the user interface, not adding new ones on top of old ones.
