First, I want to say that I very much agree with everything Greg wrote
and that udev is much better than devfs. I very much appreciate the work
getting it to where it is now.
That being said, one could argue that devfs obviates the need for
major/minor numbers altogether, making dynamic major/minor numbers moot.
That assumes that all drivers had devfs support and a correct
implementation of devfs.
I've always disliked major/minor numbers, but if that is the sole price
to pay for udev, then I don't really care :)
