As you mentioned above, this is a temporary information(trace.c.README). In the
future, we may clean up this one, but it is still necessary to tell users where
they can find the extension modules.

Or is that possible to put the description in the crash Wiki? To be honest, I'm
not sure about this, but there is no special preference.

Thanks.
