What is the planned final version number of Linux? :)

Heh, 0.1 was a fully working version.

Who knows. Who is one to say, "This is it"? I changed the numbering
scheme because numbers really mean nothing more than a way to differ
different versions of the program over time.

That's not a udev issue, it's a kernel issue. There are some patches in
the -mm kernel tree that provide sysfs support for misc devices (like
psaux), enabling udev to create those device nodes.
ttyS0 should work just fine with a 2.6.0 kernel, please let me know if
that is not true.
thanks,
