Hi Domagoj,

A couple of recent projects which may be of interest are kinst, a new
kernel provider which enables tracing of arbitrary kernel instructions
on amd64, and CTFv3, which removes a number of limits in the previous
version which were biting people.

A description of the former, along with some future project ideas, is
