I think that would be annoying.  Making it suid by default would also be
a bad idea. The kernel wants those fd subdirectories not publically
inaccesable for a reason. I don't know what the reason is, but 
I'm not going against it.

Users can make it suid themselves.  I've put a warning into the manual 
page which will be available in the next upstream release.
