Why does pmctrace(1) need to be in base?
I can see that there is kernel driver code to support this,
is it to keep the userland pmctrace(1) closely coupled to
the kernel hwpmc(4) code?

I shall assert this code also has a broken license form,
if you read LICENSE there is no copyright "above" to
retain, or print for a binary release.  As a consumer of
that LICENSE technically I have to display nothing.
I am sure that is not the desired intent.

I believe this is still under review without formal policy
from core.
