True.  At first, we included all kinds of translators in /proc/mounts.
However, that caused severe trouble as e.g. the Debian init scripts
would umount (i.e. terminate) vital system servers on shutdown.
Therefore, we now only include real filesystems in /proc/mount.  We
could show procfs there I guess, it would just have to implement the
file_get_source rpc:

teythoon@darnassus:~$ /hurd/mtab /proc
/hurd/mtab: /proc: Operation not supported
teythoon@darnassus:~$ rpctrace /hurd/mtab /proc
[...]

  162<--163(pid9632)->dir_readdir (0 1 0) = 0x40000009 (Bad file descriptor) 
  162<--163(pid9632)->file_get_fs_options () = 0 "/hurd/procfs"
