    Perf was IMHO an overreaction caused by the fact that systemtap and
    oprofile people packaged and released the sources in a way that kernel
    developers didn't like.

    I don't think perf should be used as a precendent that now argues that
    any new kernel utility should be moved into the kernel sources. Does
    it make sense to move all of mount, fsck, login, etc., into the kernel
    sources? There are far more kernel tools outside of the kernel
    sources than inside the kernel sources.
