No /proc or procfs by default in 5.1-RELEASE ... why ?

Hello, As I am sure many have noticed, a default installation of 5.1-RELEASE will leave you with no procfs mounted at /proc, and no entry in /etc/fstab for a procfs. Is this by design ? Is it better to not run /proc on 5.x ? What are the consequences of running without a procfs on 5.x ? OR
