    So maybe suggest an solution rather than shooting one down all the
    time (which do seem logical, and is only apposed by one person currently
    - namely you =).

    I currently run a system with Greg's patches + udev, and all the devices
    are generated via udev and a modified version of Robert's initscript
    (running much earlier), with only alsa's nodes generated via another
    script as it is not sysfs-ified yet. So basically the initramfs idea
    is fully plausible if initramfs will get there (or I get time to have
    a look).
