Even omitting combinations that have no obvious use gives : 7 entries. Is this how things are meant to be done? What about drivers : that pack a ton of info into the minor device? They manage their device space. 7 devices is OK since devfs doesn't tend to have as many entries in /dev as traditional static tables because it is dynamic and has only what is on the system.
