First off, I absolutely don't want to flame: I'm glad you asked and I 
was happy to answer.

Just out of curiosity, don't we have sysutils/bsdstats (which I install 
on all the boxes I manage, but I understand won't be present in most 
embedded systems)?
Is that project such a failure?
If so, should it be better promoted or would it be pointless?
