OK, I'll open a separate RFE with a bit more detail. Its unlikely we'll work
on this here in Red Hats PCP team, however, without a more compelling case (or,
alternatively, a need for more local-only rules as per earlier comments, which
would begin to make the case for it).

You seem to be asking me to prove that that a hypothetical bug you've opened
exists. However, I see no evidence of a problem, nor would I expect to, so I
tend to think we should spend time on more worthwhile pursuits.
> This is an inappropriate attitude.
Hmm, let me put it differently - I do welcome other folk continuing to
investigate the area, of course. There's no need to take offense at my
suggestion you do so (its not something we're likely to take on in the PCP team
here at Red Hat, s'all). I'm sorry if you took the suggestion that you might
like to do some work on this as inappropriate / offensive - but its just being
realistic, noone else seems to care as much as you do (if at all) about this
perceived problem.

It would be very helpful if you could analyze the underlying kernel / pmdaproc
problem there (I do not see that behaviour here) - there would seem to be some
pathological root cause on these systems that could be diagnosed and the code
improved.

Oh, a misunderstanding perhaps - this is all pmieconf-driven, there's no
hand-editing involved here. If its concerning you, use pmieconf in pmmgr to
switch it off (pmie rules in pcp group). There's no reason it should concern
you, however.
