Yes, it was discussed and well understood. The fact that you broke savecore by trying to use devname(3) before dev_mkdb had been called was your bug. All Andrey did was move dev_mkdb sooner, so that /var/run/dev.db was built before the first caller. As to who had introduced the change? I believe it was you who caused this in the first place with inadequate testing. I don't see how it could have worked at all unless you ran it manually in single user before clean_var() got run in /etc/rc. Your savecore changes could never have worked out of /etc/rc in an unattended boot.
