I've understand that major and minor numbers for device is 8-bit size.
I've don't understand, WHY? In 2012!
(I've just have some discussion about 8-bit counter limitations in context of cloud computing. In middle of 2012!!!!)
But seriously, I've done some googling but found no answer why it still just 8 bit size. Is this some serious backward compatibility? Or just there is no one with itch strong enough?
