You will have to weigh that against the benefits of making
systemtap generally useful for kernel developers, which
would result in a more active systemtap community and,
eventually, more available scripts and easier end user
functionality.

If a project is not aimed squarely at the developers who
could give the project critical mass, it is essentially
doomed.
