The idea was to ship ninja as the new default gui by the start of the
coming summer (I think). I'm actually not very knowledgeable about what
happened to the original plan. I prefer just getting down to business
and hacking up code to make things happen than discuss how it should be
distributed. When ninja is completed and Merlin is proven stable it'll
be interesting to discuss it again. Before that we really can't do
anything sensible of it anyways.

Ah, cool :)
If the internal API's are the same in icinga as they are in Nagios,
Merlin should work famously. If they're not, I'm sure it wouldn't
be overly hard to make them cooperate anyway.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
