Given that uprobes has been reviewed several times on LKML and all
comments till now have been addressed, can we push uprobes into either
-tip or -next. This will help people to test and give more feedback and
also provide a way for it to be pushed into 3.3. This also helps in
resolving and pushing fixes faster.

If you have concerns, can you please voice them?
