I agree, and I'm awaiting the arrival of it in the tree. Unless then, ktrace is the tool of choice. And even when dtrace hits the tree, alot of people will still use ktrace for a quick look at the problem. So why not polish it a little bit for the easy stuff and let people use dtrace for the hard stuff?
