I'm afraid that with this mindset you're acting like Lennart, who ignores
valid and widespread use cases that just happen to not affect his laptop.
Static devices is a setup that works on only straightforward systems.

Thus, while it is worth supporting that on minimal containers, those are not
systems that boot on their own. Even the crummiest semi-embedded machine
that has enough oomph to run a generic distribution has so much power that
trying to avoid netlink is a waste of time. It'd be like coding an init or
an editor in assembly.

Thus, it's better to simplify things and standardize on a solution that
strives to work for everyone (ie, udev/eudev/vdev/new mdev with netlink
support).
