No need to add "Thanks" to a change log ;-)

Will this still work if we convert the kernel_stack to be the same as
the other dynamic_arrays?

I'm assuming so, as there doesn't seem to be anything here that looks
specific to the kernel_stack event, and we wouldn't want to break the
other events.

I just want to make sure you are testing both formats.

Thanks,
