-I have been asked several times whether the devps patch will go into the
-mainline Linux kernel.  The following emails from Alan Cox and Linus Torvalds
-make it clear that it is not going to happen.  This does not mean this patch
-had no value -- it does.  It just means that those that like it get to apply it
-themselves...

-I do dislike /dev/ps mightily. If the problem is that /proc is too large,
