I see. I was assuming some of them would stay, iirc Toke also was asking
for this one to stay (or was it the old maps format?). FTR, I'm not
resisting any changes, I'm willing to invest some time to update our
callers, just trying to understand what my options are. We do have some
cases where we depend on the section names, so maybe I should just
switch from bpf_program__title to bpf_program__name (and do appropriate
renaming).

RE skeleton: I'm not too eager to adopt it, I'll wait for version 2 :-)
