Ok, I'll bite. If you look under /sys/devices for "dev" nodes, how do you tell if you've got a char device or a block device? (I'd really like to know.) (This is glossing over the fact that searching through an arbitrarily large /sys tree could be very slow on certain systems, and a lot of embedded stuff is using 100 mhz processors and such, and prefer mdev to udev for the _speed_ as much as for the memory savings.)
