Yes, I'd like to join the development of libtracefs. But honestly speaking,
I am not sure whether I can get enough time on it since I have to take care
of my little baby :).
I have the same opinion with Arnaldo that we can merge what we'v already
done here. Then consider to migrate to libtracefs instead before adding
more new features.
