More than 600 entries in /dev is hardly the lean mean /dev promised by

AFAIK, I don't use udev, and I get
# ls /dev | wc -l
7529

I use Fedora Core.
all devices in /dev created by udev under Debian, or is there some other
tool that creates additional ones?
How can I get rid of the ones I don't need?
How do you know which ones you don't need?
# du -s /dev
572 /dev
