Userspace cares about what does this thing operate on?
It operates on processes and threads.
The most common term people use is "task".
I literally "polled" ten non-kernel people for that purpose and asked:
"What term would you use to refer to a process and a thread?"
Turns out it is task. So if find this pretty apt.
Additionally, the proc manpage uses task in the exact same way (also see the commit message).
If you can get behind that name even if feeling it's not optimal it would be great.

>Is there any plan to support sesssions and process groups?

I don't see the necessity.
As I said in previous mails:
we can emulate all interesting signal syscalls with this one.
We succeeded in doing that.
No need to get more fancy.
There's currently no obvious need for more features.
Features should be implemented when someone actually needs them.
