Greg, Kay, any idea how to make ptmx show up in devtmpfs as a symlink
to pts/pmtx instead of as a device node?

The conversation stalled in January with that very question.

What I am proposing doesn't conflict with any effort like that.


I just looked at the archive, and it apparently really comes down to "noone wants to take responsibility for it". The real problem appears to be that with devtmpfs device name policy is actually split between user space and kernel, which is the worst possible configuration.
