Hello Al,
why `rmdir .` is been deprecated in 2.4.x? I wrote software that depends on `rmdir .` to work (it's local software only for myself so I don't care that it may not work on unix) and I'm getting flooded by failing cronjobs since I put 2.4.0 on such machine. `rmdir .` makes perfect sense, the cwd dentry remains pinned by me until I `cd ..`, when it gets finally deleted from disk. I'd like if we could resurrect such fine feature (adapting userspace is just a few liner but that isn't the point). Comments?
