Not necessarily. Using a custom filesystem, versus a device node still ends up using an ioctl(), read(), or the like. You still have the same issues. Thomas had some good reasons at the time for using a filesystem. I think I may still have the conversation somewhere. It mostly applied to locking and race conditions being easier to control with a filesystem.
