Well me too, but smalldevfs is a bit stalled at present.
It seems to work OK now, but there are a few small incompatibilities with the current devfs. People need to make adjustments to their initscripts, or to untar a tarball-of-device-nodes into smalldevfs at boot time.
Like all other kernel developers I do not use devfs and am not really able to evaluate how serious these problems will be for people.
Adam is disinclined to address these administrative incompatibilites in his user-space tools. smalldevfs is presently at risk of getting dropped out.
