Title:
  proc: make /proc/pid/limits world readable

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Having the limits file world readable will ease the task of system
  management on systems where root privileges might be restricted.

  Having admin restricted with root priviledges, he/she could not check
  other users process' limits.

  Also it'd align with most of the /proc stat files.
