Why isn't it just in GENERIC so people can easily disable it if they like? I thought DEFAULTS was just meant for things which caused users pain (and people answering support mails...) if they accidentally missed the option? I don't really see DTrace falling in that category. On a side note, I think it's really great with the DTrace support and I look forward to trying it out. Thanks for working on it! -- Simon L.
