It went more like

- it was determined that the same thing could be done in
userspace
- devfs had been shoved into the tree in hope that its quality will

- devfs was found to have fixable and unfixable bugs
- the former had stayed around for many months with maintainer claiming

- the devfs maintainer/author disappeared and stoped maintaining
the code.
