I recently switched to gentoo. As you say, the "standard config" specifies a devfs setup and all of the documentation assumes that you are using it.

Personally, I've had trouble with devfs in the past and I'm using gentoo without it. Creating the devices I need by hand was tedious..

I like the idea of having devfs with a fall through to traditional device files.
