Understandable... but its a catch-22... If its not turned off in release builds then we
can't use systemtap [to debug NFS] in production environments which the true value
systemtap brings to the table... imho...
Is this liable to actually occur, though?
I mean, I don't have any problem with it per se... I'd just be suprised,
is all.
