Those demons are provided just to keep backward compatbility (at least this is my opinion) and can be used without them. i don't like personaly any ideas about udevfs and others. We should get rid of min/maj nr of each device becouse each single program uses device by name indeed ! Having just devfs solves many problems and is very good thing. But, again - without any userspace demons. Linus was always trying kernel as simple as it is possible, well - imho devfs is just one step forward to make it even simpler but without removing any of it functionality. -- Grzegorz Jaskiewicz K4 labs
