Yeah. I spoke with somebody in south bay / peninsula, but that's a bit
of a pain to get to mid-week (and then it just fell off my radar).

It's easy enough for me to just pull the changes back in when they're
needed, so it's not really any skin off my back to just remove it for
now. Fewer moving parts means less chance for bugs anyway.

I just started the patch locally and ran it for 5 minutes it's looking
good for our metrics. Vlad is going to run it for longer tomorrow
morning. In the meantime, I have opened pull request
https://github.com/ganglia/monitor-core/pull/179. Hopefully that will
be useful for progressing from this release blocking issue.
