struct task_struct::utrace became embedded struct. This is good and should remove quite a few of utrace bugs. Better late than never. However, "rewrite-ptrace-via-utrace" patch was omitted, so almost noone can easily see by how much situation improved. I see this patch was dropped in Fedora. Will ptrace(2) will be rewritten through utrace?
