Linus trovalds did NOT suggest this. Neither does he have his own
team. there are a good amount of kernel developers who work with him
that includes dave,arjan, alan cox, rick van riel etc who are also
fedora developers. linus has merged an *optional* thing. he hasnt
suggested one way or the other. neither is he always right nor is his
suggestions always applicable to fedora.

you will have to cover this specifically one by one. as far as
configuration stuff stored in /proc, there are no advantages to doing
this nor is this deviating from any standards whatsoever
