Well the only case it could matter is if you aren't allowed to access /proc/<tgid> which I think may actually be the current selinux behavior. So if we can't fix /proc/self we need to introduce /proc/task-self at the top level, just to be certain we don't run into weird cases like that. Otherwise /proc/self/task/self sounds like a wonderful suggestion.
