since no one will ever agree on the proper naming scheme, I think pushing the naming policy to userland makes sense. There is only one "official" Linux kernel, so someone will always be upset with a kernel naming policy. In userland, there can be infinite competition for udev-like projects. Sounds good to me!

The kernel should implement mechanism, not policy.

"Are you brain-dead?!" You *want* your devices to be named consistently across distros, you know.

--How about a "limited devfs" where only the types of devices that NEED lots of space (disks) have to go thru it?
