I have still yet to see a justification why we want to continue carrying utrace
in Fedora at all. And "We want it in RHEL" isn't a good enough answer.
It's been FIVE years that we carried that thing without it getting upstream.
What benefit is there in continuing to carry this thing at all ?
Utrace has been an absolute disaster from a merging standpoint.
Even Xen didn't take this long to get upstream.
