:Hey,
:
:we stopped having dedicated block devices long ago. Now some programs
:still check for S_ISBLK. I wonder, should we make S_ISBLK behave like
:S_ISCHR?

No, I'd say we should just leave it alone for now. If we
give them the same ID any third party program switch()ing on it
will have compile errors.
