The site does not indicate that it has, but reading the page on patches 
seems to indicate counters are visible via |/proc//pid//stat as second 
line counters, so I would assume this would worry upstream guys on 
compatibility issues/arguments. Either way, I still think this would be 
a great tool, it works without the patchs but you don't get per process 
stats - which is what most people would be interested in particularly in 
RHEL.
