Agree -- teething trouble. I am trying to push something out right now 
based on 8.x, and all the little "gotchas" (e.g. vmstat -z not using a 
uniform delimiter set) are like little landmines on the highway in front 
of my Pursuit Special.

Personally I prefer the new formats, they're less ambiguous, and closer 
to the analytics where they actually get used.
