devfs - interesting news

[Joel Hammer]

This brings up the question. How did devfs get into the kernel with only
one maintainer?

And, can we avoid its replacement and just go back to the bad old days?

I believe lindows came precompiled with devfs, and of course, I wouldn't
dream of compiling a lindows kernel without devfs, even if I could get
the thing to compile, which I can't.
