Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt in 2.6.11-rc1:
What: devfs
When: July 2005
Files: fs/devfs/*, include/linux/devfs_fs*.h and assorted devfs
function calls throughout the kernel tree
Why: It has been unmaintained for a number of years, has unfixable
function calls throughout the kernel tree

races, contains a naming policy within the kernel that is
against the LSB, and can be replaced by using udev.
Who: Greg Kroah-Hartman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
