Hey, we do not design the OS only for handling desktop workloads.

If netstat does not work on this typical server workload, then it is a
joke.

Apparently nobody had this need before you asked.

My point is that instead of carrying ~30 years of legacy, we would
better design the system properly so that we can _use_ it in all
situations.

ps used to open /dev/kmem a long time ago.

fuser and similar commands having to know system internals are really
hacks.
