Yes, it is udev's fault, but it is not a bug. The /dev/discs nodes |
| 13 |
were a convention of devfs, and _never_ standard. |

Start moving to a sane /dev naming scheme. |
| 22 |
This release removes the devfs names for the tty and consolde devices, and the |
| 23 |
symlinks that were implementing the LSB standard names. We only implement the |
| 24 |
LSB names now, which saves over 3Mb of RAM on /dev. |
