Could not agree more! Unfortunately, I don't think we'll realistically be able to convince everyone, and even if we did convince everyone to have frame pointers tomorrow, it would still take years to take effect. So for the foreseeable future we'll still need things like this, even if I wish we didn't. That said, we should still try to convince people!
