But MAKEDEV(8) still depends on mknod(8), so this change would be a
"make release" breaker.
In older environment, mknod(8) does not understand the new
command-line syntax; it would be impossible to build today's -current
in -stable or whatever version of -current before this change.
Yes, it's easy to fix by "cd /usr/src/sbin/mknod; make; make install"
before doing a release engineering, but it is too tricky, isn't it ?
