The xen trace facility is not enabled by default. I'm working on some tools that use it, and I'm concerned that the tool will not work for customers who buy packaged distro's. What are the arguments for keeping trace disabled? Is it just the memory consumed by the trace buffers? It doesn't appear to me that there would be any impact beyond that. What is the possibility of making tracing enabled by default?

Rob
