Yes, I know this mantra now and that's not the problem (or will be fixed
shortly).
This still doesn't answer what will come next. You must have _some_ idea,
otherwise you wouldn't add a new interface, remove other infrastructure
and provide a patch which modifies MKDEV & co. All of this only leads us
away from the goal of dynamic device numbers. Why?
