Problem is that the whole bootup process has been built upon the fact that you typically use kernels with modules (self made or rpm kernels) and you're using mkinitrd and initrds together with udev. There was a description how to diable udev support some time ago, but i can't find it anymore now. I'm reassigning this to udev, maybe the package owner still knows where to find it. So basically if you want to run a system with such drastic changes to the bootup process such additional manual changes are to be expected imo, and creating a few 'sporadic' /dev entries just in case isn't a good solution as after a while we'll end up with a semi-filled /dev again which goes exactly against what we were trying to achive when going to udev.
