I think that this is not desirable, but a mount option, as explained above (or my last message) would be preferable. If devfsd keeps dying, then if nothing else the user can remount /devfs with this option... I think it isn't desirable because it would allow devices to appear which local policy might otherwise want hidden, or only available in a chroot jail, etc. Or worse, if the devfsd dies for a chroot jail, undesirable devices may appear.
