 whether they or we need to so something before suddenly supplying new
 metrics.

 These changes look okay to me, from the perspective of CollecTor archiving
 these files. We'll have to extend metrics-lib to parse and provide the new
 fields, but there's no rush in doing so. CollecTor will ignore those new
 lines and archive files anyway. And if it doesn't, we'll fix CollecTor.
 Feel free to deploy these changes. I'll make a note (and later a ticket)
 to update metrics-lib. Thanks for asking!
