Jakub, thanks for reporting this.

I was unaware of the sosreport plugin that Aruna authored. Since it was 
committed in December of last
year, that would explain why I've yet to see it show up in any distributions. 

The sosreport plugin included in the iprutils repository logs more information 
than the one in the
sosreport repository, so I'd prefer to update the one in the sosreport 
repository to collect the
same data we are collecting with the iprutils upstream plugin before we pull 
the plugin from
the iprutils repository.

Please cc me on any patches to the sosreport plugin.

Thanks,

Brian
