Armin,

What:   devfs
When:   July 2005
Files:  fs/devfs/*, include/linux/devfs_fs*.h and assorted devfs
        function calls throughout the kernel tree
Why:    It 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.
Who:    Greg Kroah-Hartman <[email protected]>

This should not a surprise to anyone...
