Wow.. That realls summs up the development kernels.. I've been very impressed with the progress.. Keep it up.. :) And I *personally* would like to see symbolic links in proc.. Maby a mount option.. Maby even /proc/names/ which would have process names as symlinks to their pids... and /proc/users/username/ with links to that users pids... I dont think there would be security concers that a proc option to not show stuff thats not yours (unless you = root) couldn't fix..
I perpose we add a new device: Schroedinger's Penguin! /dev/schro_peng.. It will randomly return "penguin alive\n" or "penguin dead\n" whenever you read it.. But you never know until you do.. :)
Or how about Pavlov's Dog device.. It's sorta like binfmt_misc.. It's learns to respond to character sequences on ptys.. Like ^G^G^G...
