I am actually pretty much of the same opinion. Thats why I put the "But, ..." into my proposal. I have seen the request before and always thought "do we really need another Nagios". Similar with gexec/authd. Do they really belong into the monitoring-core? How does "integrating" them help recording the metrics?
