+      <p>With the advent of DTrace we are able to replace many of
+	the internal kernel debugging options, such as TCPDEBUG,
+	with statically defined tracepoints (SDTs).  Tracepoints have now
+	been added to the system that replicate the functionality of the
+	TCPDEBUG kernel option.  No new kernel options need to be added
+	— they are standard with any kernel that has DTrace, which
+	is included in the default GENERIC kernels in 10.x and HEAD.
