The question is whether programs should be parsing it. Right now glibc relies on it for certain things. We need /proc/cpuinfo if only for back compatibility. Documenting it has the disadvantage people will try to parse it, while not documenting it has the advantage that it can be provided to the pet human which generally has better error handling. Alan
