The devfs patch takes Linux one step further toward being Enterprise ready. The current scheme where a device identification can alter after a planned or unplanned configuration change... that is OK for most home systems where there is only one or two hard disks. And it is clearly OK for developers, who Know What They Are Doing. But it is weird and strange and potentially disasterous in a larger systems environment.
