+What:          devfs
+Date:          July 2005 (scheduled), finally removed in kernel v2.6.18
+Contact:       Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
+Description:
+       devfs has been unmaintained for a number of years, has unfixable
+       races, contains a naming policy within the kernel that is
+       against the LSB, and can be replaced by using udev.
+       The files fs/devfs/*, include/linux/devfs_fs*.h were removed,
+       along with the the assorted devfs function calls throughout the
+       kernel tree.
