FWIW, I'd be looking forward to have CTF in our distro binaries shipped by
default, it might obviate the need for separate -debuginfo packages, you'd
get somewhat useful analysis capabilities even without them then.
So, I'm very happy about someone investing into getting CTF onto linux; I
considered doing that myself on and off, just never could bring myself
to start ;-)
Ciao,
Michael.
