I just went from 1.3.12 to 1.3.24 and noticed that extended partitions are
no longer accessible via /dev. People who are using an extended partition
to store their LILO boot sector may not like this ...

>From looking at the diffs, I'm not sure whether this is a bug or whether
it is intended to be a feature. Any ideas ?
