Yeah no problem, so yes, as you eventually saw in patch 1/3, the
internal tracing is just here for in-kernel debugging purposes, it's in
no way related to the user interface. It's a 2015 feature, we're just
adding support for tracing the new commands.

Let's discuss the nl user interface in the other thread.

Thanks,
