I will say here that nobody would expect you to use your production environment for beta testing or even trying out a new "stable" release of any software. However what the Ganglia project lacks is testers. We have a lot of Ganglia users that rely on our tried and true 3.0.x version of Ganglia but we don't have many who are willing to spend time helping us test new features. As I have requested before on this list, please join us and help us make Ganglia the best it can be. You don't have to develop code to make a difference in the quality of the Ganglia software. > btw, I hope the python gmetad will not replace the C gmetad in the > future.

And the reasons why are for exactly the reasons that you stated. The purpose of the python rewrite of gmetad is to introduce a new architecture and plugin interface. If the community likes it and is willing to improve it, then maybe someday it will replace the C version. However there is a lot to be determined before that happens.
