Low-level instrumentation is indeed something that once added it has to be
considered long live thus quite stable. I don't see that as negative
because it's useful and as long as we think correctly about which event we
add, it should be fine. The pros are beating the cons imo. It will become
an external "ABI/API" like our control port.
> I see LTTng has pretty documentation, though. Why don't we use their
documentation formatter?
Not sure to understand here. LTTng has indeed pretty documentation on
their website but it's first and foremost a tracer that can be hooked to
those instrumentation event we'll add, not baked into tor.
