It ain't going away. Out of morbid curiosity, what's the status of union mounts? I've had this sneaking suspicion that /proc would eventually be broken up into two filesystems: 1) what /proc was originally meant for (a subdirectory for each pid), 2) all the extra crap that got shoehorned into it back when it was the only synthetic filesystem (and after everybody got into the habit of putting synthetic fs stuff into /proc). Of course making this work with legacy tools would require union mounting both procfs and crapfs onto /proc. Which gets us back to "how are union mounts doing"?
