Hi, Ken -

Sorry to reincarnate this necrothread [1], but I'm looking for
definitive advice re. dynamic configuration for pmlogger.

I'd like to find out whether there's any sympathy to these types of
extensions in pmlogger (effectively a sort of a unification with
pmie).  If not, is there any opposition to having a new pcp pmlogger
type tool that does include these sorts of extensions?
