There is no difference between a thread and a process (in linux), other
than the way they share memory pages.
Are you suggesting that the kernel should make an artificial grouping of
processes (threads) and call them a process? Maybe it should so that you
easily can send signals to a process using threads. And doing so would
probably make pthread implementation easier. I don't think it should just
to make top/ps happy.
