No, it is cruft.

If it is implemented then as a translator of course. Maybe as part of the Linux emulation layer. > I wanted to create some simple translators for a class project; that did > /proc-ish things, but as I'm new to Hurd (and gnumach) I'm not sure how to > get valuable information, and from which servers I can get it.

Interesting servers for such a project would be proc (sure it does expose :) and probably auth. Marcus
