    I am really sorry that you were able to misunderstand and misrepresent
    such a simple sentence. Let me quote the full paragraph of what i said:

    this makes it clear that i disagree with adding static markups for
    static tracers - but i of course still agree with static markups for
    _dynamic tracers_. The markups would be totally unusable for static
    tracers because there is no guarantee for the existence of static
    markups _everywhere_: the static markups would come and go, as per the
    "tracepoint maintainance model". Do you understand that or should i
    explain it in more detail?
