The way I understand it (and Alexander, correct me if I'm wrong), the
permissions we apply by default to those directories allow read/write
for all members of a fixed group.

If one specific user needs access to only one type of device (say, a
scanner), but not other devices (say, the console mouse), they can't do
it with our current permissions.  Root has to make them a member of that
group, and open up all devices to them.

Now, that doesn't bother *me* at all, because I'm the only user on this
system.  But it is an issue that should be fixed for others who do have
multiple users on their system, and who might need to do this.
