/dev/pts contains device entries, so it sounds right to put it in /dev.
Similarly if the cgroups FS provides facilities to control some system
settings, it clearly belongs in /sys.

(/dev/shm is another story, and if you asked me, I’d have put it
in /lib/shm instead, but it’s a bit late to change it.)
