Agreed. I need to push that up in priority in my todo list.

Getting ebpf functionality into tracing could also help filtering and
such, which is still done with tree logic.

Anyway, I would like to get people together in discussing some of these

ABI issue that we need to do right, otherwise that could bite us years
from now.
