I'm glad he mentioned Fedora because it's been a tiresome battle to keep frame pointers enabled in the whole distribution (eg https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/3084).
There's a persistent myth that frame pointers have a huge overhead, because there was a single Python case that had a +10% slow down (now fixed). The actual measured overhead is under 1%, which is far outweighed by the benefits we've been able to make in certain applications.
