A point of clarification: the DTrace experts do not, in fact, work for Oracle; all three of the original team have left, as has Brendan Gregg (author of both the DTraceToolkit and the recent book on DTrace). A minor point, perhaps, but a significant one for those of us who have parted ways with the company -- especially as DTrace has continued to be developed under different ownership.

Thanks for that information. It seems as though this would make Oracle's attempt to port DTrace to Linux rather tricky, unless there is now equivalent expertise among a new generation of hackers at Oracle.
