Yes, but we still need to figure out details of what each type of user is expecting/wants. I suspect that when we get down to cases, we will find that a lot of the tracepoints that administrators find useful will want to be put in the VFS rather than in the filesystems themselves. If you have tracepoints in sys_stat() and sys_fstat(), why would you also need a tracepoint in nfs_getattr()? AFAICS, that would just make scripting ugly...
