:Hey,
:
:we stopped having dedicated block devices long ago.  Now some programs 
:still check for S_ISBLK.  I wonder, should we make S_ISBLK behave like 
:S_ISCHR?

    No, I'd say we should just leave it alone for now.  If we 
    give them the same ID any third party program switch()ing on it
    will have compile errors.
