I have a recollection of some discussion of providing a scoreboard API that would make it available to modules needing a chunk of shared memory.
I'm in that position now, and my module needs to play with the scoreboard, as it creates additional children to be noted. The easiest path is a one-off hack, in the manner of the loadbalancer stuff. But if there's enough interest in a general API, that looks like a better approach in principle. Anyone have thoughts on the matter? Shall I try and draft a general-purpose API? -- Nick Kew
