Here is what I have on my personal TODO list:

 "Add an option to select the creation mode of device files :

   * Static with a device table
   * Using devtmfs
   * Using mdev
   * Using udev
 "

Of course, if someone wants to remove an item from my TODO list, that'd
be very nice !

Cheers,

Thomas
