Would you mind picking up this patch to remove some old tracepoints?
Liam has already given it a review.
Someday I need to add code that lists the events that are never called. I
can imagine that there's several tracepoints that are created and never
used, and they still do waste memory :-(

Who traces the tracepoints? A question as old as time...

Maybe reasonably straightforward with a clangd/ctags/etc. backend or
something to track usage?

In fact could do a quick-an'-dirty script to grep invocations and have a
person run down the results to double-check or sth?
