It is entirely userspace as we get the sysfs and /sbin/hotplug kernel
support in 2.6 anyway.

In the default mode, no. We need to provide the default kernel naming
scheme to comply with the Linux Standards Base and to prevent all older
apps from breaking.

Yes, it is a /dev replacement.
The only application work would be if a user starts to change their
naming scheme (to always name a specific printer a specific name), as
then the config file to point to a specific device would need to be
changed. All applications should not have hard coded /dev entries, but
I'm sure there are some out there that are for some reason...
