I believe Bruce had already identified LatencyTop as a dead end by the time we 
even did our first release of OVP (I have no recollection of ever including it 
and there are 0 user stories in Rally which would validate my memories on this 
subject). Just in case I have added Bruce to the list. We already had LTTng 
and FTrace, including a mostly dead Intel project was not a priority if I 
recall correctly.
