Physical device naming was in the original thread (see above) but not
explicitly in the todo list.  This is a pretty important feature for
embedded apps, esp. those that can be reconfigured.  Among other things,
we use USB serial chips (FTDI) for a couple of projects.  Not having a
consistent ttyS to connect to is a problem.  For now we are ignoring the
problem.  Eventually I will have to do some sort of a hack with devfs
(or something like that) so that each node has a consistant name.

Cheers!
