Mark Wielaard <m...@redhat.com> added the comment:

The original patch was created to be as close as possible to the support that 
Sun and Apple added to their python implementation for Solaris and MacOS. 
Changing the probe point names would make the current patch slightly different 
for scripts written against those. That isn't a major problem, and can be 
worked around in user scripts or a tapset that translates the old names to new 
names. But it is something to consider before changing the probe names.
