You're missing my point. I'm not saying deprecated means anything else that
what you wrote above, but I do disagree with you that sysfs/udev is a
replacement for devfs right *now*. As your link indicate, udev won't be
ready to take over devfs' tasks for another couple of months.
If you have a working devfs, I see no point in trying to move to sysfs/udev.
Personally, I run udev side-by-side with devfs, and I do like udev a lot.
It doesn't mean that I think udev is ready to replace devfs yet.
