sysfs/udev is not a replacement for devfs yet. Not everything that needs to
be moved to sysfs has been moved to sysfs. And udev is still somewhere
between proof-of-concept and beta...
- From what I can understand from the kernel mailing list, nobody is removing
devfs until the next major version (so, it will be removed during 2.7, and
gone completely in 2.8). Meaning those who are using devfs now, should be
safe until 2.8 comes out (I wouldn't install new systems with devfs, but I
wouldn't remove devfs from systems that runs it either).
