Oh, what's about the true random device number allocation?
Not really new, but udev fits nice here :)
Or what happened to the parallel device probing thing?

Both of those are things I'm going to do for 2.7.
I guess I can write a paper on something that I haven't implemented yet,
as I did that last year :)
I'll come up with something, I still have a few weeks...
