It is possible to use mdev (or even smdev, the suckless version:
https://core.suckless.org/smdev) if you don't need icons popping up
when you stick in any random USB-thing. It is also possible to use the
old MAKEDEV. It is just a matter of expectations.

When you put together a distro you are not the only use case to take
into account ;)
