     I agree that static dev must remain an option. 200%. I use it on 
embeded powerpc devices running Wheezy with kernel 2.6.29, because 
Wheezy's udev is not compatible with this "deprecated" kernel version.


     But if you are looking for productivity on your laptop, you want an 
application to create a device file with a meaningful name when you plug 
in a usb key. Plus another to allow you to mount/umount it in a 
mouse-click -- or a shortkey if Tilt knows how :-)
