The story with device renaming is fairly simple - nobody could agree on
what the ideal names should be and different userlands ended up wanting
different things so rather than try to keep everyone happy the kernel
picked the simplest policy possible and let userland override it to its
heart's content.

It's more the fact that it can be distributed separately to the kernel
which reduces the pressure to mainline the basic board description stuff
for ongoing maintinance.
