As our operating systems become more and more security conscious, I'd expect the ability to iterate other processes on the machine to go away. When I've installed ethereal/wireshark I've needed to face down big warnings, and properly so. A promiscuous packet sniffer is something to be wary of. With few exceptions[1] there seems to be no good reason for any application on my machine to see what else is running.
