1.1

Per bug #186814, Gentoo users don't have to place /proc in their
/etc/fstab anymore. The /sbin/rc script automatically mounts /proc
anyway (unless you set RC_USE_FSTAB="yes" in /etc/conf.d/rc which
isn't the default).

That said, I'd rather let this remain in /etc/fstab. First, it doesn't
hurt. Second, it might confuse users if it isn't set (particularly
sparc users who need to mount /proc/openprom but not /proc). And
third: it is not because /sbin/rc by default mounts it that we don't
have to document it anymore.

For instance, if rc suddenly started checking the content of every
partition to decide where to mount it (partitions with home
directories -> /home, partitions with application data -> /usr, etc.)
users wouldn't need to fill in /etc/fstab anymore (okay, crude and
surreal example) even though this file is very important for a Linux
system.

So I rather let this remain in the handbook. If that's okay for you
guys, I'll say so in the bug and leave it as-is.

Wkr,
