He means rationale ... the output of the files you are altering is fixed
size and atomic, so we don't need seq_file for fear of running off the
fixed buffer and the data is reasonably fast changing, so anyone looking
to seek within the file because they can't read the data in one go isn't
going to get sensible results.  Given that, why bother with the
conversion?
