Not everyone will want devfs, just like not everyone wants APM or
framebuffer. The best thing the pre-built packages can do is include
the support, but leave it disabled by default. Then the admin can
simply place the proper command line argument in their bootloader to
control the features they want to use.

Microsoft encrypts your Windows NT password when stored on a Windows CE
device. But if you look carefully at their encryption algorithm, they
simply XOR the password with "susageP", Pegasus spelled backwards.
Pegasus is the code name of Windows CE. This is so pathetic it's
staggering.
