I agree that devfs.conf should go away, but ATM there is no way to get
all of its functionality in devfs.rules. The one things that gets most
(all?)  of the complaints is "link". There is simply no way to implement
this from devfs.rules; only on devfs.conf. I want to create /dev/dvd and
/dev/cdrom when my CD/DVD is plugged into my system.
