Fine!  I hope that I have time this week to place 3.0 in our "real"
environment.  You have to withstand the temptation to mix development
and the use in a product environment.  Something I have to learn.  But
we have left the main core untouched so I don't fear any problems.

But I have already seen a big productivity increase by monit.  The
problem is you start some kind of "end of the pipe thinking".  You
don't solve the problems of your services.  You have a tool which
keeps them alive.  That's also tempting... you install monit and you
think by automated restarting all your problems are solved.  But if
you encounter any actions by monit you have to get active.  But why
monit has restarted it and it works again.... just some musings of
mine... late at night... with a toothbrush in my mouth. (-:

I am curious to see the stats on freshmeat.  The increase was amazing when
2.5.1 was announced.
