Yup. Sure. Well-known. That much was implicit in the first message I
sent to this thread (human-readable == English text, in most cases).
But so what?

The horribleness (which was never in question) is completley
orthogonal to whether/how NetBSD implements linux-compatible versions
of those specific /proc warts that're actually used by "interesting"
Linux apps.
