I have yet to hear a technical argument for that.  The technical and
pragmatic argument against it is wasting developer time, wired kernel
memory, if-else clauses in scripts, etc. in having two separate file
systems which do the same thing.  Like it or not, /proc is not going away.
Creating gratuitous differences to other systems due to religious reasons
is quite ridiculous.
