I would dislike any subdirectury above /dev. But I would have no problem
with renaming the current tty devices to tty0[1234] and cua0[1234]. This
is more similar with some other ports or systems like FreeBSD. I don't
really know any reason why we should use mdm0[12] and ser[12]. OK, this
is more familar to the naming convention used by TOS, but NetBSD is not
TOS.
