Hi,
I am not a "kernel god" but in case you are also interested in opinions of ordinary mortals -
excellent idea! The only arguments against it that I heard were "ah, but we build embedded Linux system and every byte of memory is important". This argument is not serious and should receive a decent reply such as "touch, in'it?".
Also, all your suggestions seem excellent but I would add something slightly more radical but, imho, also useful. How about making /proc also mounted automatically? Sure, one can also manually mount it elsewhere as many times as one wants but ensuring that /proc is *always* there at /proc seems a good idea. The specific location "/proc" is part of some standard (can't remember which) so it is not too bad to hardcode it.
Regards, Tigran.
