It's meant to be a debugging facility, which has no stable API and is not something the user can depend upon it.
Once you move it to procfs, it's basically over and we are stuck with this forever.
I think the intention of this meaning to be a debug facility for developers is very clear.
I'm not applying this, sorry.
