:Hi Matt,
:I know this has been discussed before, but what about dynamic /dev ?

Yah, it's actually doable with the infrastructure we have now, but a
dynamic /dev doesn't replace GPT or a new 64 bit disklabel. I have to
do all this work anyway, dynamic or static.
Since I was able to expand the partition and slice bits in the minor
number we are no longer hitting up against any significant limitations
in the current scheme.
A dynamic /dev (well, lets say /devfs) would be a great project for
an interested party to do but it isn't in the critical path so I'd
rather not spend the time doing it myself.
