That's up to the icinga guys, really. I have done and will be doing
the hard work of coming up with and testing the code we're about to
ship, so they get to copy it without my help.

To be perfectly honest I'm not sure what compatibility consequences
the Nagios 4 patches will have. Some modules will definitely have to
be modified a bit (livestatus and Merlin come to mind), but for the
most part very little needs to be done.

That still depends on upcoming changes though, since I'm not yet
done with the backwards-incompatible changes.

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.
