Thanks for such a view.
It might be that less simple update candidates were left over now.

I got an other impression.
An other document contains background information like the following.
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/trace/boottime-trace.rst?id=b8381ce7aa8ef1ab5a79bf710508e504c494acf7
ââ
Since kernel command line is not enough to control these complex features,
this uses bootconfig file to describe tracing feature programming.

Yes (in principle).
But I hope to achieve collateral evolution here, too.

I am trying again to resolve disagreements somehow.

I hope also to influence the software development attention another bit.
