  Speaking about Linux in general and  devfs in particular I'd trade
  adopting the ideas for adopting the code style and cleanliness without
  a hint of hesitation.

  As for ideas, last time I spoke with Al Viro, he told me that implementing
  full blown namespaces will upset looserland tremendously. So, he's not
  doing it.

Thanks,
Roman.

P.S. Yes, I know, everytime somebody mentions devfs -- I have this itch
to scratch ;-)
