The behavior of Horst von Brand (specifically, outright ignoring that his
thread started *because* of USB dynamic devices and instead repeatedly
asserting that nobody needs dynamic devices) hasn't done anything for the
anti-devfs side.

The pissing match is going on on both sides. Ignore the pissers and get on
with the technical details already. Making technical decisions based on the
behavior of a few idiots ("there is no cause so good that one cannot find an
idiot championing it" or something like that --- which applies to both sides
of this discussion) is an even worse idea.
