I notice that the metadata of per-PID user-space traces has three attributes 
which are dropped from the equivalent per-UID trace:

Per-PID trace:

env {
        hostname = "sds-dut-vb";
        domain = "ust";
        tracer_name = "lttng-ust";
        tracer_major = 2;
        tracer_minor = 3;
        tracer_patchlevel = 0;
        vpid = 7024;
        procname = "simple";
};

Per-UID trace:

env {
        hostname = "sds-dut-vb";
        domain = "ust";
        tracer_name = "lttng-ust";
        tracer_major = 2;
        tracer_minor = 3;
};

   The trace data are the same in this case (two trace sessions capturing the 
same events in parallel), so this change in metadata only shows up in 
babeltrace's output (when using '-f all -n all' for example).

   Is this intentional?  It does mean per-UID traces "anonymize" the event data 
slightly.  And why is "tracer_patchlevel" dropped alongside the process-related 
attributes?
