Hi Pavel, You are right adding outputs is not a huge deal: it's always some work to do but not huge deal. There are two aspects to it: 1) what you code, you should maintain. This advocates against dispersion, ie. add as many outputs as possible, and in favor of focus on a kind of right amount. Work against use-cases and don't cover an already covered use-case in multiple ways, if not for a good rason; 2) priorities: pmacct is by now a sizeable piece of software and growing in different directives (ie. inputs, correlation of inputs, outputs, etc.) and each of these needs some attention/time spent. This advocates in favor of, and links well with #1 above, making critical mass before adding a feature. In this sense, for example, if i see the ongoing ES thread on this mailing-list that's where i'd spend some time on next in terms of outputs.
Hope this clarifies. Needless to say contributions (even better those that are [even kind of, best effort] supported over time) are always welcome.
