Hey there,

Over the years, the amount of data we have stored in each process' U area has eroded to the point where all we have left are the following:
- A struct kinfo_proc that is only used for a.out core dumps. This can be reconstructed at the time of the core dump, so it doesn't need to be there.
Aren't we 100% ELF these days? Surely aout is no longer relevant?
We are 100% ELF toolchain. We can still (in theory) run AOUT binaries so long as you use the COMPAT_AOUT kernel option and have AOUT libraries. But this is offtopic =-)
