To be fair to all parties, we have been consistently allowing systemtap
to be labelled as a Fedora feature, and to drop support for it would be
a regression from that point of view. I don't really have an objection
to utrace per se, as it is low impact, just the idea of reverting a
bunch of inconvenient code to do it.
