There is now no distinction so IMHO : we should use 'devname' not 'rdevname' by default. But I still think we : should create both /dev nodes (r and non-r) for some time, but both as : character devices. Tapes are a special case. We already multiplex n for non-rewind devices, e for high density tapes, etc. They aren't simple devices. At worst, I could at least we agree that we need both entries in /dev for a while.
