Removal of devfs support from MTD
I don't know if anybody else is still stuck in the time-warp that is devfs, compiling kernels on parchment and generally being obsolete. But since I spent 2 hours last night trying to figure out why my device nodes stopped appearing after I applied the latest MTD patches, I thought I'd make a public service announcement.
(For what it's worth, the upgrade to Udev was totally painless--everything works like it always should have.)

I'm dumbstruck. :)
The first positive and "non whining" response on such "evil" code cleanup.
Thanks for taking the time to provide prove that we are not living on the wrong side of the universe.
