Policy for devfs support

Is there a project-wide policy for support for devfs (and devfs-style,
e.g. udev devfs.rules) device naming?

I'm asking because of obstruction (from upstream) regarding the
application of a simple patch to allow yaboot to support it:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=300950

If there was a definite policy of supporting it (or not), this would
be easier.  As it stands, the tool is not properly functional on devfs
systems.  Since we should aim to support a well-integrated system, I'm
not happy that folks can deliberately obstruct furthering the
integration of the system.


Regards,
Roger
