I don't think so. Getting in a monolitic patch that redoes all the
debugging is quite impossible, nevermind the problems with all the
overengineering and locking in there. Instead Alexey is looking into
redoing the important bits from ptrace in small steps and I'm trying
to help him a little with that. Having everyone use the generic
sys_ptrace would be a very useful step in that direction.
