My initial query has thrown up lots of interesting debate :)

I, like most people I suspect, love the concept of a complete auto-populated
dev directory, and not having to MAKEDEV.

devfs provided this, but like most people who read LKML, I stopped using it
when it's problems were discussed.

I really hope udev lives up to its promise, unlike devfs. Manually creating /
dev just annoys me for no apparent reason other than it's plain inelegance I
suppose.
