Now, _including this requirement_, wouldn't it still feel good to actually get DEVFS integrated and usable as the default _now_? People that need persistence can either disable devfs until persistence is implemented, or use phk's hack for the time being. We'll take the hit for the problems that might be with bad device definitions now, but that'll be fairly easy to sort out. Devfs without persistence is usable for 90% of the cases; and it is IMHO a large step forward for those 90%. Eivind.
