Despite the availability of linux pledge, and frequent comments mentioning its existence, I'm not aware of many people using it.

I think it would acquire more usage if it was part of mainline Linux distros. As far as I can tell people must feel like this is some kind of optional, nonstandard thing.

It works well with openbsd because its standard, and most if not all openbsd packages make use of it

Though maybe I'm misunderstanding how Linux pledge works. I'm only familiar with the openbsd usage of it
