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).
