this incompatibilty makes the upgrade path from branches 6.x/7.x to 8.0/trunk more difficult than it already was before. Upgrading between branches is not an easy task anyway, so I believe this would be an acceptable API break. Maybe it would be better to change the udev rules to have both tty and vc/* entries. The devfs style naming sure has advantages, but we dropped the other devfs names already (like /dev/discs/*, /dev/ide/*, /dev/scsi/*). And it's more comfortable for users to have a "common" naming, so we should take into account what other distributions use.
