None-the-less, it seems to me that spamming the kernel namespace with "current" in at least the way that the 2.2 kernels do (does this occur in later kernels?) should be corrected.
Justin, "current" is a pointer to the current thread executing on the current processor under Linux. It has existed since day one of the Linux kernel and probably will exist till the end of it's life.
I'm sure the BSD kernel has some similar bogosity :-)
