Hello,
I though twice about it and came to the conclusion: mknod will be kept,
however automatic udev setup will be configured.
The whole thing used in generated module packages is a mess because it
uses major numbers reserved for local use and there is no good and
reliable way to make it right for everyone. Further, people need to
generate module packages explicitelly and install them manually and
because of the nature of the package I don't expect real trouble from
mknod usage. Therefore the usage falls under the "local use" terms which
the used major number range has been reserved for and which is not
covered by MAKEDEV.
Eduard.
