Ubuntu Intrepid removes a traditional interface that breaks popular
software, so the pertinent issue is backwards compatibility.

Whether /dev/rtc0 and /dev/rtc1 are identical or different is irrelevant
to the person using the computer because either would be adequate for
software that expects the legacy interface.  This is nearly the same as
reimplementing /dev/null as /dev/null0 and expecting the userland to go
looking for it.

Why is keeping a /dev/rtc link for compatibility the wrong choice?
