Not necessarily in that form. A lot of statistics has now become per-cpu, something we wanted to achieve back then. Automatic /proc reporting was an idea only tossed around, but /proc is now deprecated for such things. There may be a need for fast export of counters to userspace, but those requirements are not yet clear.
This is different from per-task accounting infrastructure that people are trying to develop.
