Comment(by kaner):

 > I also don't understand how this is too much to maintain. It sounds like
 gettor was broken, not the metrics part. The current gettor installation
 is a mess and needs to be moved to a new server. Gettor probably needs to
 be rewritten and to provide stats via some other method than http.

 It would be helpful for me if you could be more precise on the points "is
 a mess" and "needs to be rewritten". In IRC, you said easy install/remove
 was an issue. Have you read the installation instructions/tried an
 installation and found it too complicated? If you could give me pointers
 on how to improve, that would be great.
