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.

... Don't know, maybe Linux users actually need a copy-on-write FS? Performance gathering library? Maybe they actually need container based virtualization solution? Should RedHat simply give up on giving their customers what they need simply because it doesn't measure up to your "innovation" standard?
Oh, lets not forget, if Sun starts following your "innovation" standard they should stop working on porting VirtualBox (which they own) to Solaris - after all, VMWare had it first!
Has it ever occurred to you that having a better, faster, more-resilient ZFS in the form of BTRFS * is -far- more important than your "innovation" factor? (In my short experience with ZFS, if something happens, good luck trying to salvage anything)
In end, I'd imagine that most users don't really care about "I got there first" pissing contents - they (should) only care about what works, and works well. Who invented it first is irrelevant.
