Check this linux kernel mailing list for the (still scarce) details about
"removing" kernel tunables from /proc:
http://uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0105.3/1439.html

To be precise, dicussion about modifying existing /proc starts here:
http://uwsg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0105.3/1469.html

There were not much discussion about the subject, but it seems that in
2.5.x /proc will just hold information about running processes. The rest
is still to be defined :)

Regards.
