How do you suppose a distribution is going to ensure that only the device nodes for the installed hardware are in /dev for the users that don't necessarily feel like rm'ing all those nodes they don't need while still providing all the /dev entries needed for the largest of systems?
I don't see any code accept for Richard's at the moment, and scsidev is just that... Only SCSI.
