So the reason I did that way is that this:

static int cmd_rm_dev(int argc, char **argv)
{
	char	*mntpnt;
	int	i, fdmnt, ret=0, e;
	DIR	*dirstream = NULL;

	if (check_argc_min(argc, 3))
		usage(cmd_rm_dev_usage);

would use the same usage string for both commands. E.g., if you do
"btrfs device delete", the usage string would say
"btrfs device remove...". That's a small cosmetic issue, but what do you
think?

Cool, that sounds like a good idea.
