Dear package maintainers, please do not mess with preexisting files in /dev.
I have static /dev and that suit me well for quite a few systems that has a static environment, especially system that are intended to for a long time and where I tend to minimize the number of running processes, every running process is something that can go wrong. Their /dev/ files are set up for their intended use, and I don't want surprises there. When upgrading it isn't easy to see what package that did something to /dev so it isn't easy to bug the guilty party. If sys-fs/static-dev is installed, please do not touch /dev, if you want you can leave suggestions in some file. Regards, /Karl Hammar
