We can think about it. I'm not sure with this kind of changes in the
next 2.13 release. That release should be more about bug fixes and
code stabilisation.
I'd like to do some consolidation in 2.14. I also need explore why
RHEL/FC uses the kill command from util-linux rather that from
procps. And Suse and Debian?
Frankly, things around proc/ need more changes. There is area for huge
improvements. There is also the psmisc project where community duplicate
effort and code.
My dream is stable and useful libproc (with python and perl binding)
and one or two packages based on this library. (Yes we have libproc
in procps, but this library is completely useless outside procps...).
