And why do you want to remove that? There's nothing in /dev your users
shouldn't see, but there's stuff in there required for certain
functionality. For instance, bash handles /dev/std{in,out,err} and
people may rely on this. Also, any application using the default paths
for POSIX shmem, semaphores and message queues will stop working.
