IIRC, only HPA has had strong objections. Other kernel gods have
either been quiet or supportive. And don't give up on devfs making it
into 2.2: last I heard Linus is still "actively considering" it.
Actually, that's not quite true. I had a chat with a number of other
Linux kernel developers at the Linux Expo, and there was a substantial
number who think devfs is really ugly and unnecessary. Personally, I've
just decided to not waste time (and linux-kernel bandwidth) argueing
about it given that it definitely won't make it into 2.2, and I haven't
yet had the time to implement the smaller replacement solution which
will hopefully head devfs off at the pass....
