This is like saying that brain surgery is safe and controlled because
the surgeon never actually goes into the patient's brain! :)

I think of ptrace as a pretty wide-open interface.  While ptrace itself
has well-defined semantics, I could hardly consider using it in
production, nor would I want to be the one to write the userspace apps
to do the syscall futzing for each of Linux's architectures.
