Yes,
It is because of a couple of issues. The environment required to build the
gdb-pstack is non Linux standard (It would be required that we have to put
this in our SW repository).
In addition, it is not possible to easily modify the command interface (i.e.
what's passed into GDB) in this environment. Using a standard script with
standard GDB which comes with every Linux distro is a no brainer. It is my
assumption that GDB will be updated to accomodate and incorporate new
kernel/features as soon as possible. The GDB pstack would no necessarily
enjoy this high profile support. To make gstack a part of our linux tooling
makes sense.

Can you tell why not?
