That's always a good thing.

Note: update your initscripts to mount sysctl filesystem
right after the proc is mounted in order not to lose your
/etc/sysctl.conf configuration (and optionally fstab).

That will break about everybody's init scripts I suspect.

I think you would need to go through some deprecation
period for this at least, with printks warning people
to fix their init scripts.

Or better find some way to do the mount automatically.

Doing it automatically is the only acceptable way, IMO.

For time being only.

The kernel (currently) only auto-mounts invisible filesystems.
and /selinux with selinuxfs, it is automounted ... but it is visible fs
