Please, be my guest. :-)

I'd only suggest you keep in mind what will happen when we define
how tracing works with multi-process, as we'll be working on that
soonish. That is, whether with multi-process, there will be a trace
status object per process, while supporting disconnected tracing
or not sounds like a target (debug interface) wide attribute.
