1) Smaller memory footprint, better stability and performance - YMMV.Take it to the udev list. The assumption there is that there is zero use
2) Dependencies from an old userland that require a static /dev/tree,
for instance, Cryptoloop implementations that expect to find certain
/dev/loop* entries.
3) For easy filesystem recovery using non-udev recovery CDs.
4) For kernel experimentation.
