And its difficult for me to understand how do you continue to claim "in
all aspects better" when comparing the two, An offline solution that
always produces at least something usable to a online one that requires
all-star alignment of circumstances to produce the perfect backtrace
result.  There is no basis for one-or-the-other comparison. 

IMHO its is a good thing for lightweight, kernel-like userspace
backtraces to become widely desseminated across the webs.
