That's something for later, and it's not quite so simple.  If a utrace
engine ever uses uprobes, it probably would need to use the utrace-based
version of uprobes.  If something different goes in upstream, it remains
to be seen how it would interact with utrace, and there would be
specific work required for that.  There are many more issues about that
too.  At any rate, this is all a distraction at the moment, and Oleg
doesn't need any more of those!


Thanks,
Roland
