I can understand if obscure operating systems are overlooked, but it's quite
disturbing that the ganglia development community doesn't care if the data
collection module crashes Windows systems. Although I'm not condoning the
spread of this awful operating system (ie Windows in any form), it's
unfortunately part of a large number of IT environments, like it or not. They
should be monitored. It should be more important to insure the stability and
usability of ganglia than to waste time with a web repo. Fixing gmond should be
bumped up to the highest priority.

Apparently gmond on W2008 crashes systems. I do not have any W2008 systems
so can't test it. I would just note in release notes that Windows 2008 is
not supported.
That said I am not in favor of holding off the release. If someone wants
to contribute Windows patches we can release that as 4.0.1 or later.
