I've talked with the folks involved, I think this was just an accident.
It does raise an interesting point, though. How does one deprecate
an existing probe naming?
I tried making a provider with stability level "Obsolete" for names,
but I didn't get any warnings when using the resulting probes. Assuming
we could get warnings for Obsolete names, how does one mark only
portions of a provider as deprecated? I.E.:
provider SomeProbesAreObsoleteButNotAll {
probe entry(); // This needs to be deprecated
probe sub-entry(); // This is the new name
};
