Yes please. I'd hate to see the Plan 9 ideas turned into subjecting
some unfortunate programmer(s) with having to write hundreds of
thousands of probes instead of following the more acid based approach.
dtrace has it's place. And as you've said, eye candy wins. But I
still think there's a way to use acid and the linker to provide the
kinds of hooks you want for debugging.

One other thought on this line. The dtrace tools include a kernel
module which understands the dtrace language. Maybe an alternative
plan 9 approach is a kernel driver which understands acid.
