Because dynamic device nodes have lots of benefits. (Less clutter, better support of dynamic devices, better device names, better API for writing drivers) In short, hardcoded /dev nodes don't "already work". Though I have to say, that was a pretty amusing remark coming from one of the upstream authors of "shoop". Cheers, aj
