I agree partially with that, but as someone who's used DCL in
VMS, I can say meaningful names are no better. People don't want

hi,
I'm trying to make this card work under 2.4.4, but I couldn't find a patch
anywhere to get it working under 2.4.x nor on 2.2.x. I tried with the I2O

To the best of my knowledge, dev_t number is still 16 bits with 8 most
significant bits being the major number and the other 8 bits being the
minor number; which of course means that minor numbers can only go up to
255. Has this limitation been some how addressed with 2.4? 256 devices
