Does anybody still use devfs (with old linux kernel)? Can we deprecate it?
>From /usr/src/linux/Documentation/ABI/removed/devfs:

"
What:           devfs
Date:           July 2005 (scheduled), finally removed in kernel v2.6.18
Contact:        Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh AT suse.de>
Description:
        devfs has been unmaintained for a number of years, has unfixable
        races, contains a naming policy within the kernel that is
        against the LSB, and can be replaced by using udev.
        The files fs/devfs/*, include/linux/devfs_fs*.h were removed,
        along with the assorted devfs function calls throughout the
        kernel tree.
"

If devfs is still used we can copy modprobe.devfs from module-init-tools
3.8.
