Heh, yeah I guess it can be. I was thinking of it as singular. I was
thinking of ftrace, perf, kprobes, uprobes, all being the same. As in
"kprobes system" or "uprobes system". I implicitly added in my mind
"system" to that sentence.

uprobes (system) does not support fetch methods

But I guess one can think of it as each individual uprobe does not
support fetch methods, so "uprobes do not support fetch methods" would
then be correct.

But still, I would use the full "do not" as the "don't" here just
sounds funny to me (sounds like a boxer talking "Dey don't do dat to
me! Dey don't support fetch methods either!")
