I'm not the NRPE maintainer, but for what it's worth, I like them.

While I tentatively agree with that, there's no real reason to take
patches to NRPE before Nagios 4, as the two have no code dependencies
between them.

On Nagios 4? Testing would be helpful. If you're in an asskicking
mood, you could go ahead and add an "accept new worker" handler
for the query-handler so external programs can register with Nagios
and request to run certain plugins.

check_nrpe would be one of the prime candidates for such persistent
workers, along with a generic do-all "check interface things over
snmp" thing. Don't go and write a ton of code for that snmp interface
thing though. I've got 99% of that done already ;)

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.
