That would put a burden on both maintainers of NetBeans and RHEL/SuSE since their release cycles are not likely to be the same.

It's better to just guarantee that for N stable releases tracepoints will remain stable.

KS2010: ABI status for tracepoints

Maybe it is time to synchronize their release cycles? It is possibly wise to use the same longer supported kernel (like 2.6.27 or 2.6.32) in longer supported distributions anyway, so the tracepoints would be the same. At this point they just have to pick the same NetBeans version...
