Is that intended to apply only to only in the DEFAULT_DENY case?  If so
that should be made clear.  If not,

Let's say the default in both parent A and child B is ALLOW, and both
have a blacklist entry for "b 8:* rwm".  Now I

        echo "b 8:* rwm" > A/devices.allow

removing the blacklist entry.  Here you are propagating that to the
child B, which I would argue is actually propagating a new allow to
a child.  Which you said you wouldn't do.
