Not entirely true - some people might still care about supporting legacy 
apps that don't know about the /proc interface for making AFS syscalls.

In any case, what he does or doesn't care about doesn't change the fact 
that the code is there.  This is a known problem, BTW, though I don't 
recall offhand what fix we came up with.

Of course, one could whine at Linus that someone made an already-existing 
symbol be GPL-only, which he has said is not supposed to happen.
