Well, Fedora hasn't been shipping that symlink for a long time, and as Michael points out Debian isn't doing that either. And to my knowlegde there's nothing that really broke so far. I find your strategy of saying "hey, let's pretend the broken scheme works, so that I don't have to look into things" pretty weird. Just drop the /dev/root symlink. And if things break, fix them. Just sticking the head in the sand and singing lalala won't do anybody good. But anyway, you are maintaining this in Gentoo, I am not...
