@RahulVadhyar@social.treehouse.systems @marcan@social.treehouse.systems Probably existed before the better interface was added, now it can't be removed for compat. reasons

@KasTasMykolas @RahulVadhyar @marcan this. Using cat on an interactive shell is the only valid use of /proc/cpuinfo today.

I'm guessing for interactive viewing when the only tool you have is `cat`.
