Greg,
/udev is not an official place according to FHS. Did you ever try to
get this into the 'standard'?
Or can the location be moved from /udev/ to /dev/udev/ or whatever?
Can you make a decision?

How about /dev :)
That's where it will eventually move to, once we have everything in the
early boot process working properly. I'm just using /udev now so that
people can test, and develop, and still have a working system...

Sure, /dev it is. Ok with you?
thanks,

Sure, the point is that its not only a matter of udev. The userland has
to find the nodes. Imagine if the major:minor which is usually known as
/dev/null would have different names across the vendors. Maybe we will
have a *.config that works for everyone, one day.

For debian, I want to ship both "traditional" and "devfs-like"
configurations, possibly defaulting on the second one (maybe with
compatibility symlinks).
Since most software nowadays supports things like /dev/vc/ I see no
point in e.g. littering /dev with tty*.
