currently dev is ok. but there was half a day where dev had bugs; upgdrading from this day pacakges won't overwrite invalid devices (new device policy) thus the rm -fr /dev/* i won't complicate dev scripts because during half a day cooker had a bad package (mandrake policy) since that's can been easily triggered by the few cooker people who installed the bad one with our help. there's no need to accumulate hacks that make packages looks ugly. i'm quite happy with the new dev MAKEDEV scheme which is devfs aware, much more solid, understandable and faster to update than rh's MAKEDEV or debian's makedev.
