I infer that you mean /dev needs to be writable by anyone, not by just
its owner or owner and group (conventionally root/root.) This goes
against conventional wisdom, which is that /dev must be writable only by
the administrator. Why do you say otherwise?
I didn't mean that "/dev is writable by everybody".
Glad to hear it! :)
I meant that "/dev must be mounted for read-write mode"
Again, why?
