Why doesnt someone do something sensible and mount devfs to /.devfs
Uh... because we don't use devfs? ;-)
Bring back the old devices style.
udev does (almost completely, anyway), with the rules file(s) we use.
One difference is that you won't see devices for drivers you don't load.
But seriously, why dont we just mount the device somewhere else and
just symlink them across when needed?
What's the difference between a directory full of device nodes and a
directory full of symlinks?

Good answer, never investigated udev to be quite honest, just thought it was
another form of devfs from the guide.
To add to your note, there isnt a difference between the two, ive just got
so used to slackware's /dev style I couldnt handle the entire directory tree
the devfs mount produces.
