Imho it would be better to use 250 for all API-3 drivers,
and switch to 212 for API-4.
IMHO, this is the best solution to avoid a lot of confusion.
API-4 will need many changes to softwares, so a new major
shouldn't be too difficult to do at the same time.
That way, the big confusion

Maybe a kernel-config option to choose the DVB_MAJOR define used
simplifies the transition, especially for people who switch between
different kernel version on-the-fly and don't want to recreate their
device nodes for every boot...
I'm just curious if these old alias' are going to

BTW is it planned to make the drivers udev compatible ? As far as i have
understood it will be used in favour of devfs in near future, but a fast try
showed me that there are no dvb devices created with udev. Any plans ?

There is a sysfs/udev

sysfs support would indead simplify the switchover, as udev can create
