Purpose of /net directory

I notice on my system (Manjaro Linux) that:

  1. I have an empty directory named /net
  2. This directory is not mentioned in the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard

What is the intention behind this directory (quoting chapter and verse)?


Is it like /mnt (which is for temporary mounts) but for network (eg sshfs, nfs) mountpoints?

Or, in other words, is it like /media, but for non-removable non-temporary mount points?
