How soon should we begin to work on a devfs alternative? I've read that Per doesn't like udev. Yes, however, at this point in time it seems best to do a 2.2 with udev. We might look into a alternative solution in parallel, but since this solution is not ready yet, and the users can't update kernels without switching to udev will probably make sense for now.
P.S. CRUX 2.2 is about January-February far away, yeah? I hope we don't move to GCC4 until at least June. (but that's a huge change, which would probably be called CRUX 3.0, yes?) Did you experience a lot of problems with gcc 4? We've updated some packages at work, and even though some patches were required, most fixes were rather trivial. So I wouldn't mind seeing gcc 4 in 2.2, even though it doesn't make sense to switch if the amount of work required to build our packages it too large.
