Perhaps Jake was watching the discussion, where the systemtap developers talked about their work toward having user-space probes in the future? If I wanted to run systemtap with any sort of user-space probing now - especially if I wanted to take advantage of all those nice probe points already put into applications like postgresql - I'd be pretty much out of luck. I think Jake has his facts straight enough.
