Hi Arjan, They have some userspace application that monitors stuff, creates devices before module loadup and things like that. I imagine they have still stuck to this existing design due to their need to keep it mostly unchanged from their 2.4 days, and also the fact that they have a unified codebase across a whole lot of platforms including *BSD; but I agree, it is a bit painful to work with.
