status of Documentation/devices.txt

The preamble to devices.txt states:

"THE DEVICE REGISTRY IS OFFICIALLY FROZEN FOR LINUS TORVALDS' KERNEL
TREE. At Linus' request, no more allocations will be made official
for Linus' kernel tree; the 3 June 2001 version of this list is the
official final version of this registry. At Alan Cox' request,
however, the registry will continue to be maintained for the -ac
series of kernels, and registrations will be accepted."

However, a series of additions to devices.txt has just been made
by ChangeSet 1.1769.

1) Should the statement quoted above regarding a "freeze"
therefore be amended, eliminated or left in place?

2) What is the current mechanism for obtaining an assignment?
