It seems like the world has progressed (is progressing) from "the whole
world is a vax" through "the whole world is windows, and by that we
naturally mean we're corrupting the term by making it Microsoft-specific"  
until we're now getting to "the world is Red Hat".  I've opposed such
short-sightedness where practical through time, but I must say I don't
miss the VAX nearly as much as I used to.  :)

Back on the ntop front, I've been considering doing something to restore
MySQL support since I already use MySQL to store a lot of our historic
records.  I'm wondering if anyone would be willing to share some sage
advice on how ntop and mysql relate.  1) Would it make sense to do MySQL
integration as a plug-in?  2) Has anyone started anything like this
already?  3) What was the motivation in ripping the mysql support out?  
Would looking at what was ripped out do any good or harm?  4) Can plug-ins
be written in perl?  Have any been?
