Moving this discussion to ganglia-developers

The only feedback I received was that Ganglia Web 2 changes more
frequently than the rest of Ganglia

However, I feel that is not a sufficient justification to keep Ganglia
Web 2 separate from the main Ganglia bundle.

On the other side of the argument, I feel that Ganglia Web 2 should be
part of the main tarball for various reasons:

1) many users who just have a side-interest in monitoring will just use
whatever comes as default

2) must make life easier for people who build the official packages
(e.g. Debian, RPM, OpenCSW) - these people shouldn't spend time
packaging, testing and supporting two web interfaces

Given that there is a significant lead time for releases to propagate
into Linux distributions, and then it gets stuck on their distribution
DVDs for 12-18 months, I believe the decision and a new release should
come quickly and I don't mind assisting with it - does anyone object?
