What do you mean “many other versions”? /proc/loadavg is purely
Linux. Most other Unices use /proc for, well, processes.
(I assume the kernel doesn't try to read and act on locale environment
variables. Yet.)
No, thank gods. /proc and /sys are fixed-specification system
interfaces. Whatever you may say about Linus, he'd blow a gasket
about locale-responsive system interfaces.

It's an incredible con job when you think of it, to believe something
now in exchange for life after death. Even corporations with all
their reward systems don't try to make it posthumous.
