It can be useful to remember the dead ones sometimes, but perhaps not
for the purposes of this particular tapset, which is imagined to be
useful for controlling future probes.

If one wants the history too, a sibling tapset could be easily
authored, with a target_set_history_report() function triggering its
inclusion.  Or make it all moot with PR6525.
