At least one of the BSD's (I think it's FreeBSD) has a DevFS...
I can't realise what you possible could have against devfs. Solaris has
it, AIX has it, Irix has it, if I'm not all wrong MacOS X & Darwin has
it.
It's natural, it's not an abomination.
I'd like to hear you come up with a good solution that doesn't use DevFS
and yet handles 40-50 hot-pluggable devices (USB/Firewire/Fibrechannel
etc.)
