For XFS 1.0 / RH 7.1, we released our own version of devfsd, which was
essentially Mandrake's patched devfsd, with some config file magic to
try to handle /dev/mouse and /dev/cdrom transparently.
I'm not aware of any real problems with using Red Hat's devfsd instead -
there may be some - but I think it's more of a feature issue than a
compatibility issue.
In any case, mounting devfs on /dev will not be the default in 1.0.1.
