Agreed there are too many options to have only one base fs. However, I think that devfs is one of only a few items that make dev filesystems incompatible with one another. They still all need the basics, inittab, passwd, group etc...
Ideally there would only be a few to choose from, each packaged up with a busybox .config file.
