Hi Tom,

This command is intended for user space debugging while drgn is currently
used
to debug only the kernel. Most user space developers are unaware
that such a tool
even exists. If this script were part of drgn, only a few people would know
about
its existence. If shipped as a part of GDB, it would be exposed to the
regular GDB users
who would actually debug multi-threaded user space programs.

Thank you,
Alexandra
