As Michael already said -- there's no real reason for that. We were just brainstorming. The /dev idea seemed like a good plan at first, but then it isn't fixed. What you suggested below does look useful too.
Coming back to the point Michael already raised: the overarching idea is to get rid of the net_dev for the 'master' device, even if the underlying hardware supports only a single virtual device (which might then be created by the driver automatically)
I'll move the wiki pages a bit to accomodate different models, please check in a few minutes.
