And in a suprising move, as one of those people who unfortunately doesn't
have the necessary talent to contribute code, but does use FreeBSD
extensively, I agree with terry from the standpoint of letting the users
put in scripts in rc or whatever to maintain the persistence, and not
incorporating it into devfs.

Even though it would mean a small amount of extra work for myself tweaking
perms and such.
