I don't think this is due to a philosophical difference. It's more a matter of priorities, and improving the config/disk data/stats interface(s) hasn't until recently been a priority. With DEVFS coming online in the near future, work in the sysctl interface, future plans on improving LKMs, new filesystems work, etc, I think this is now becoming a priority and you can expect these parts of the kernel to change dramtically over the next few months. I'd like to see a port of the ccd driver and I hope that you or someone else takes charge of it. -DG
