I'm not sure what you mean exactly by "back to devfs", because Fedora Core
and before that Red Hat Linux never used devfs, and to my knowledge, devfs
never was working perfectly (and was always marked as "experimental").

udev/hotplug may have some growing pains. However, by switching to devfs,
you'd be moving away from something that's at under very active development
to obsolete, unmaintained code due to be completely removed from the kernel.
That's the main thing I'd suggest watching out for. :)
