No, I didn't purposely miss the point, it wasn't clear. The point for =
you was just one sentence out of the whole e-mail. In any event, I have =
nothing to contribute about that because I'm not involved in it and have =
no insight. I *personally* don't think that development has been dead =
for the past two years as I have benefitted from changes made during =
that time. Nagios suits my needs at this time but I can see that in the =
future, some of the things being talked about will be useful to me. =
Useful enough to risk a new implementation; I'm not sure.

My main issue is that if Ethan, and the other core developers are not =
fluent in the language and fully involved, leading and supportive of the =
project, then it's just interesting at it's current stage, not =
compelling. I have years of trust in the abilities of the development =
team. They've shown that they can write stable code that suits my needs =
and makes the monitoring part of my $job easy. A re-write brings =
uncertainties into something that I am currently very certain about and =
that makes me uncomfortable.
