Perhaps returning to reality might be advantageous rather than trying
to repeat statements which can't have any bearing on this - especially
as the git history which you're referring to only goes back to 2.6.12-rc2,
and this predates 2.6.12-rc2 by a long shot.

And if you continue these stupid accusations which have no basis at all,
we're going to get into a real big argument, because you are soo _wrong_
on that point.  I was always the one arguing /against/ the re-use of
existing major/minor numbers.  I was the one arguing /against/ Nicolas'
patches to make every serial port appear in the 4,64 ttyS namespace.
