Hi,

Upstream here.

Always happy to give input as long as we are put in the loop.
Also bugs/sporadic test failure can be reported on our mailing list [1] and bug tracker[2].

[1] https://lists.lttng.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/lttng-dev
[2] https://bugs.lttng.org/

We understand that the burden can be quite high for a project such as lttng given we end up doing weird
testing due to the nature of our work and that we are human ;).
Still we are always interested in getting info about "sporadic" failures.

To be clear, we are not against this patch. We understand the burden associated with testing lttng.

Cheers
