I don't think there is a *technical* reason why we need both
alternatives.  It's more a matter that we had (and still have to some
extent) a pretty long list of basically unmainted targets.  So
converting frame_unwind_append_sniffer() into
frame_unwind_append_unwinder() is difficult to accomplish.  But you
should really answer Andrew about this since he wrote that code.
