I'm not a researcher. I'm an engineer. I like steady move & feasible project. I think everyone agrees that having /dev/id is useful even only alone. So that would be the first step. If people complains the inability of rename(2) in /dev/id... I should quit using NetBSD. (Fortunately no one has.) Masao
