Sounds like a winner.
I'd go along with having cygdrive changed to dev.
dev holds all the devices, like aux, con, and others.

make sense
to me that C: would be /dev/c as apposed to /cygdrive/c,
which is longer
to type. When I ls /dev I get:
$ ls /dev
c/ d/ z/
A C, D and Z drive (the Z drive is to my backup partition on
my Linux box).
While, you are welcome to redefine /cygdrive any way you want
- but curiously list with ls /dev/clipboard)!

The question of should is subjective I would think. I worry

unix paradigm does not put filesystems under /dev. That is for devices.
To me, a disk drive IS a device. YMMV! :-)
A disk drive is a device, but /cygdrive/c is not a disk-drive. It's a
file-system contained

True.
I recall that there is a way to access the disks as real devices under
NT/2000/XP using some strange notation.
What's wrong with using /dev/sda*?
It might make sense to mount those under /dev/,
They already are: ls /dev/sda, ls /dev/sda1...
but to mount your C-drive

Actually, please don't. I think you misinterpret the discussion in
cygwin-developers. Now that you've reacquainted me with the discussion,
I remember why it wasn't applied as-is. My plan was for /dev to go away
as a special mount. Now that mknod works, this is more doable than it
was in 2002.
