Systemtap 1.0 has been released. There are a few features for this release, like experimental support for unprivileged users, cross-compiling for foreign architectures, matching C++ class and namespace scopes, reduced runtime memory consumption, but more importantly, this release means that Systemtap is finally considered stable and ready for user adoption.

I'm say that I'm baffled by your post.
So, if Sun has dtrace, Linux must not have it's own system performance gathering interface? Assuming that Linux cannot use ZFS due to licensing and design problems, should they stick to ext2? (ext3/4 has a journal, someone must have had it beforehand...)
Should Intel drop vtune just because Linux has oprofile? (or vice versa)
What's next? should the GNU people stop working on GCC just because Watcom came first?
Where does it stop? Browsers? Editors?
Heck! Lets kill Linux! Minix came first!
... You do understand that how ridicules and childish your copycat claim sounds, right?
