I do, since this sort of thing is just what the /proc fallback is all
about: dealing with cases where kernel interfaces have changed, by
using a less frequently changing (but less powerful) interface.  For
all the good it's doing me, ps might as well not even have a /proc
fallback.  It's particularly annoying because it's *gratuitously*
failing to produce output; the information is there and ps is refusing
to report it, not because it's self-inconsistent or inaccessible, but
just because ps can't be sure it's right.  If I want handholding, I
know where to find it!
