Dear package maintainers, |
| 2 |
please do not mess with preexisting files in /dev. |

I have static /dev and that suit me well for quite a few systems that |
| 5 |
has a static environment, especially system that are intended to run |
| 6 |
for a long time and where I tend to minimize the number of running |
| 7 |
processes, every running process is something that can go wrong. |
| 8 |
Their /dev/ files are set up for their intended use, and I don't want |
| 9 |
surprises there. |

When upgrading it isn't easy to see what package that did |
| 12 |
something to /dev so it isn't easy to bug the guilty party. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
If sys-fs/static-dev is installed, please do not touch /dev, |
| 15 |
if you want you can leave suggestions in some file. |
