We have a huge investment in tuolumne; I think having lightweight
datagathering in Launchpad is a great thing to have.

I really see this as two entirely separate projects:
A - cooler graphing/reporting service
B - lightweight instrumentation to gather samples

There are no dependencies between A and B - we can have one without
the other; the two together are awesome, but I don't think waiting for
A to be clear makes waiting to deliver B at all sensible -> It would
be awesome if you finish B off.
