Who the hell doesn't use udev?

Me - p.e.
"udev" may be interesting for desktop users, for multimedia
computers. It's not necessary for a simple server, for a machine
where the administrator wants to rule instead of "udev".

You don't need udev to use btrfs, I've just not seen a distro that
allows you to not run with udev, so my question is more curiosity
than anything.

But the developers seem to use only machines where "udev" runs.

p.e. when testing the disks (I've told this bug about 1 year ago), p.e.  
with "/dev/btrfs-control".

"btrfs-control" has to exist before btrfs is started, and there is  
neither a hint in the documentation nor a check.

Viele Gruesse!
Helmut
