Indeed, KProbes SystemTAP and LTTng are complementary and people
involved in the three projects are cooperating.

That doesn't mean we want them all in the kernel.

The best aim would of course be to come up with a solution that has
the advantages of all and disadvantages of none. That may be
impossible, but if we can find one way to do things that is acceptable
to all...

What's the huge problem with making kprobes the only option (that can't
be fixed by doing a bit of coding)?
