What about the case of connecting to a target that is tracing, after

Ok.  If the answer to my question above is yes, it might be this
notification ends up unnecessary in favor of a generic
=breakpoint-modified.

Pedro, to make sure I don't misread your comments, I'd like to ask are you suggesting that we can add an 'installed on target' field for tracepoint in '=breakpoint-modified' notification?
