Good to know. I figured that would happen, a la the rhq-metrics work; 
I'm glad to hear that's the plan.

Yes, absolutely. We've done very little in this area, and have very 
little in the way of resources, so anything we do we'd very much want to 
do as part of a broader effort.

The work I mentioned that Jeff is doing truly is foundational; it's not 
an alerts management system, it's the fundamental support for receiving 
notifications from the management API. Anything not based on polling 
would need that.
