Fair point, even though:

- At this point sysdig is estimated to have tens of thousands of users, and we haven't gotten a kernel bug in a while, with people (us included) regularly using it a lot in production. Of course, I see the irony of mentioning this in a "shellshock" thread

- the dkms packaging should completely hide all the complexities required in maintaining a kernel module

- Part of the kernel code, if you look at the contributors, has been written/reviewed by gregkh, so we like to think the quality is "high enough"

- There might be plans at some point to try and propose a merge of the code to mainline
