0001 What:           devfs
0002 Date:           July 2005 (scheduled), finally removed in kernel v2.6.18
0003 Contact:        Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
0004 Description:
0005         devfs has been unmaintained for a number of years, has unfixable
0006         races, contains a naming policy within the kernel that is
0007         against the LSB, and can be replaced by using udev.
0008 
0009         The files fs/devfs/*, include/linux/devfs_fs*.h were removed,
0010         along with the assorted devfs function calls throughout the
0011         kernel tree.
