Indeed, its completely useless information. Actually I don't see

Twice you mention compatibility, should I plan on a replacement so the
old code can be deprecated over time? The proc file is useful for
external timebase process to remove stale IPs or inject IPs for service
quota limiting. (At least, I can see a use for it that way).
The tree I pointed to includes a port of ipt_recent to IPv6 and
adds a new proc file for that. So you could just fix it for the
new proc file, that avoids all compatibility issues.
Please base your patches on

Yeah, me git-challenged ;) got to figure out how to make two trees
(this and kernel) play together? Got the git dribbling in at all of
3k/s (900k objects).
Its a full tree, so you can simply compile and boot that one.
Or you can pull it into an existing clone of Linus' tree.
