Hi friends, I was just wondering why do we need a /dev directory for device files. Why can't those entries be handled by sysfs and kobjects? Also, the concepts of major and minor numbers - don't anyone think that they should not be a concern for a device driver programmer at all. I think they are outdated or unnecessary.
