I'm wondering why giving a more readable kernel device name is so important. Those will be used only by whom making decision what kind of devices to give to some end users. In the Plan 9 environment, there might be only limitted number of such administrator, and all the others can be 'end users'. Those well educated administrator can refer a table showing one rune charachter device name and long one. Just a kidding. ☺ Kenji
