A few comments:
- The kernel modules will not be include so the page should remove references to kernel tracing. If users don't have it working out of the box have to go to additional steps to enable that functionality it clearly isn't part of the Fedora feature.
- In the 'benefit' section, are you suggesting official Fedora packages be built with UST support?
