    Quite frankly, unless somebody can point to something that breaks, I'd
    rather just change the existing one.

    Nobody outside of a few special cases uses tracepoints. *nobody*. The
    only apps I have ever seen that matters to anybody ends up being
    latencytop and powertop. If those two have been tested and don't care,
    I don't think we should care.
