I also agree about /dev. IIRC the website stated (still states?) that
a devfs style solution is not preferred for DragonFly. Does this mean
<cut>

The site says something else:

From the FAQ:
"""
 Will DragonFly use a dynamic /dev filesystem, as in devfs?

Current plans are to keep the existing filesystem model, with the removal of minor/major numbering. There may be a 'devd' process to handle dynamic devices. There are other features to complete first before this is tackled.

Does not say it is not preferred, it does say that of the time of that writing there where more important things then devfs.
