So sio devices should be renamed ttyn*. I think it will be easy to name xxx50 entries as ttyd? and cuad?, it is many places in system which relays on ttyd? to rename all of them. >This doesn't solve the problem of naming lots of devices.

The Cronyx device numbering takes too much minor macro can be easily change to more devices: we have at leats big letters unused. -- Andrey A.
