Well, if we tend to regard procfs as debugging tool only then maybe it shouldn't be mounted by default on initial instalation ?
Anyway in Solaris it works without giving information of other's processes and still can be good debugging tool for root.

Well: not 'we' because I am not developer of Free, but it can be done...
I just don't like when my fried whose using OpenBSD and don't have procfs on default laugh at me :(
