Yes it is. CTF is an efficient trace format (based on research done for LTTng) that can be used for essentially anything (kernel, user-space, hardware, ...)
We will also provide a CTF parser with Juno (we have a few wrinkle to iron out but it is practically ready for a CQ). It should appear in HEAD (well, 'master') shortly. Although TMF and LTTng will have a dependency on it, this CTF parser generator will be a component on its own that can be re-used without the rest (event without Eclipse...)
