It went more like
- it was determined that the same thing could be done in
userspace
- devfs had been shoved into the tree in hope that its quality will
catch up
- devfs was found to have fixable and unfixable bugs
- the former had stayed around for many months with maintainer claiming
that everything works fine
- the latter had stayed, period.
- the devfs maintainer/author disappeared and stoped maintaining
the code.
