It _was_ a real thing, then Greg Kroah-Hartman started going on about how
major/minor would all be dynamically allocated and randomied in future so we
should stop treating it like it meant anything, and then that never happened but
the maintainership of the list was allowed to lapse such that the device list
from https://www.lanana.org is a 404 link. (I emailed a day or two back, but
haven't followed up or tried to find an email address for the named maintainer
that ISN'T on lanana.org...)

You can still fish it out of archive.org. To be honest it should probably be in
in the linux/Documentation directory somewhere...

Sigh. I used to do a lot more kernel janitorial gadfly prodding on that sort of
thing, but the kernel clique has circled their wagons so tightly I don't feel
welcome there anymore. They're reinvented Unix Wars Greybeards:

It's kind of sad, really. Digital carcinization.

P.S. In my day the interesting technology was driven by twentysomethings, and
the stuff nobody under 50 cared about was on its way out.
