I agree. The devfs solves a number of problems neatly, and in some
ways can improve system performance.
However I don't think devfs will make it into 2.2. Also the kernel
gods have (had?) some issues with the concept entirely.
If you'd like to check out the mailing list's archives, you'll get
a better feel for why there is some resistance to devfs.
