When I wrote mod_gstatus it was mainly for debugging purposes. I needed something that would monitor the XDR packets that were being sent between the gmond nodes and using ganglia to monitor itself seemed like the most obvious idea. If the community thinks that mod_gstatus would be generally useful, I don't have a problem with including it as a standard module.
