Is my understanding correct?
Yes, NetBSD now supports only tracing inside kernel activities.

AFAIK, nobody is working on the user-space support for now.

One of the things I learned while hacking on Dtrace is that it's not as hard as it looks from the outside ;) - if it's something you're interesting in seeing, I recommend looking at the FreeBSD and Illumos sources, and a lot of it will just Make Sense!

Thanks, ozaki-r, for picking this up... I've been very short on time lately, and I'd love to see this in.
