It appears that the "uid" mount option was removed. WHY? More importantly, where is this change listed? I didn't see it in the git log. This is really bad as I rebooted a remotely colocated server and since the procfs is not mounted, I cannot log in via SSH to correct the problem. OK, so there's not that much point in changing the UID of the procfs files, but I preferred to set their default ownership to a non-privileged user.
