It would be a *very* bad idea for some applications to have a system where we couldn't run without devfs, unless there is considerable benefit to such an arrangement. So far, there is no evidence of that, so having a system that works with a traditional /dev should be a requirement. However, that's *NOT* an argument for putting things in /proc.
