Well, the options were to (a) move it to anywhere except under /dev and (b) to make it cooperate with devfs. (a) seemed more reasonable when Linus is asking for a stability freeze...
A *real* fix, which would require re-architecting devfs/udev/whatever and the whole initrd/initramfs and probably other stuff, should be looked at for 2.7.
