[RFC] Removing in process agent (IPA)

Hi,

I'd like to have a conversation about whether or not we want to keep the
in-process-agent (IPA or libinproctrace.so).

A couple of recent patches[1][2] have triggered the question of whether
it would be better if we just dropped IPA from GDB.

We do have some tests that make use of IPA in gdb.trace/, so its no
untested code.

I'd describe myself as neutral on this topic.  I've never used the IPA
myself, but I have no real objections to it continuing to live on.
However, if nobody wants to keep it I'm happy to do to the work to
remove it from GDB.

So my question to the group: would anyone like to speak in favour of
keeping the IPA around?

Thanks,
Andrew
