procfs get_info() method obsolete?

[Erik Mouw]

Hi,

Can the procfs get_info() method be considered obsolete? When reading
this code fragment from fs/proc/generic.c I think yes:

        if (dp->get_info) {
                /*
                 * Handle backwards compatibility with the old net
                 * routines.
                 */
                n = dp->get_info(page, &start, *ppos, count);

However, I'd rather be sure before I start documenting lies in the
procfs-guide.
