--- Comment #3 from Jingfeng Yan <yan_jingfeng@yahoo.com> ---
(In reply to John Marino from comment #2)

The porter handbook put this under this section:

"""
12.18. Avoiding Linuxisms
Do not use /proc if there are any other ways of getting the information. For
example, setprogname(argv[0]) in main() and then getprogname(3) to know the
executable name>.

Do not rely on behavior that is undocumented by POSIX.
...
"""

So, I think this is only reason. :)  BTW, although this port is not directly
used by other BSDs, I got OpenBSD side contacts and suggest not using /proc,
too.  OpenBSD once supported /proc, and then removed as I heard (from kernel at
least, FUSE may be used).
