i disagree. Utrace is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to clean up the
/huge/ ptrace mess. Ptrace has been a very large PITA, for many, many
years, precisely because it was done in the 'oh, lets get this feature
added first, think about it later' manner. Roland's work is a large
logistical undertaking and we should not make it more complex than it
is. Once it's in we can add debugging features ontop of that. To me work
that cleans up existing mess takes precedence before work that adds to
the mess.
