imo that's a counter argument to non-CORE style.
struct bpf_perf_event_data has sample_period and addr,
and as soon as we pushed the boundaries it turned out it's not enough.
Now we're proposing to extend uapi a bit with sample_ip.
That will repeat the same mistake.
Just use CORE and read everything that is there today
and will be there in the future.
