We are not limited by any code we already have. In particular, we are not saying: we cannot do this or that because it is not in busybox. The probes are out there and we want to make the most of them. So if you have any ideas on what kind of measurements are worth doing that we currently cannot do, please let us know, in particular, make sure that Vesna or Ann keep track of what you want. :-)
