This actually doesnt help much but does expand out some useful stuff currently specific to the wan driver.

I think it is. Certainly if someone came up with a rational format for all of /proc, that _didnt_ clash with the existing /proc files I would be willing to go for it and to optionally support 'oldproc' files in 2.2, and lose them over a couple of years as the tools knew the newer formats.
Whoever does it had better get it right however - we don't want to do that more than once
