You might need it for adding raid array devices and such. But if it's
not mounted the static /dev is hidden so you have to jump through
hoops to add them.
Isn't the /.dev thing a temporary workaround anyway. Isn't udev
supposed to be added to initrd images in the future? Then it wouldn't
be necessary.
