Dear Rut:

1)	This is the wrong list for this.

2)	When the proc structure changes, things which rely on the
	proc structure must be rebuilt (like devfs).

3)	When things that rely on the proc structure are changed
	(like devfs), things that rely on them (like ps and w)
	must be rebuilt.

4)	Same goes for routing code or any other kernel/user interface
	not mandated by POSIX and generally hidden in ioctl()'s (like
	routing) or under library interfaces (in which case the
	libraries need to be rebuilt, and the application using them
	statically need to be rebuilt).
