Does anyone actually want /proc/locks to stay? The data structure which allows it to be generated is now only used by the code to print out /proc/locks. If it could be deleted, a lot of code and data pointers could go away. I don't think any program depends on its existance and it's a pretty ugly file anyway (exposing kernel pointers to userspace? looks like pure debug code).
Speak now, or it shall be gone.
