Linus no new numbers decree was irrelevant. You can live in your little ivory tower if it makes you happy, but everyone else works off the post Linus devices.txt maintained by LANANA.
Even if your hack reflected the newer table it would still be an ugly hack for a few special case situations rather than any notion of release quality. Its a very clever devfs hack, but its still an ugly hack
Do it right, and do it in 2.5
