This actually make it worse, because many Solaris users are going to think
that it is the same and will probably end up making more mistakes. Besides
my main argument is against changing the devices names of the devices that
do not need a change and gain nothing from a change like EIDE. From the
postings it seams that the secondary main reason behind dev_fs is that some
people do not like having all of their devices under /dev and this is why
there are name changes even for those devices which do not need a change.
