And of the "ordinary" distros, Ubuntu has the fastest boot and we are
very keen to use devtmpfs, and I am very pro.


I don't really see the issue here. If Arjan doesn't want to use
devtmpfs for Moblin, he doesn't have to. We want to use devtmpfs for
Ubuntu, and I'm pretty sure that SuSE, Fedora and RedHat all want to too
based on the signed off and tested-by of the patch.

If there are bugs, they can be fixed as we go. It certainly works for
me, and we've even found udev bugs as a result of it.
