Why don't we take it a step further and abandon classes altogether? This way everything will grow from their respective hardware devices.
Class represent a set of objects with similar characteristics. In this regard event0 is no "lesser" than input0. Although they are linked they are objects of the same importance. I do want to see all input interfaces without scanning bunch of directories.
