I was just asking for good defaults; I want um Linux to work
out-of-the-box. There's really no point in creating bogus devices in
/dev, and make life unnecessarily hard for user-space applications:
instead of checking for existence, they'd have to check that all the
devices work. I doubt systemd will accept such a patch, just to bend
over backwards and support um.
