    we consider that for a while, now.

    fortunately we have a lot of users.

    unfortunately that means we probably need to at least still provide it
    for a while, maybe mark it deprecated, and make it a Kconfig setting,
    because /proc/drbd is part of the API, sort of.

    yes, I think we can do that.
