I'm not sure I agree -- as I mentioned in my other mail, re-opening through /proc/self/fd/$n works *very* well and has for a long time (in fact, both LXC and runc depend on this working).
I thought it was marginally broken because it is followed as a symlink? On, for example, NetBSD /proc/<n>/fd/<n> is a real reference to the filesystem inode and can be used to link the file back into the filesystem if all the directory entries have been removed.
