I see what you meant now.  statsfs can also be used to enumerate objects
if one is so inclined (with the prototype in patch 7, for example, each
network interface becomes a directory).
there are many use cases that have 100's to 1000's have network devices.
Having a sysfs entry per device already bloats memory usage for these
use cases; another filesystem with an entry per device makes that worse.
Really the wrong direction for large scale systems.
