Avi, please dont put arguments into my mouth that i never made.
My (clearly expressed) argument was that:
_a new guest-side demon is a transparent instrumentation non-starter_
What is so hard to understand about that simple concept? Instrumentation is good if it's as transparent as possible.
Of course lots of other features can be done via a new user-space package ...
Thanks,
Ingo
