or now those of use that mount it by default must check that limit.
nothing has been gained, only irritation has shifted from one side to another
and caused a ruckus because something has changed that has the impact of
completely works/completely doesn't work.
the only thing that has happened here is that we're playing a game of
opinions. i am certainly biased because i want the mounting on by default.
i feel that the author should have his say "by default".
i suggest that Richard forward all emails about why devfs just broke to the
person(s) who decided to change it's de facto setting. it's rude to subject
the author to a flood of emails like this.
