... I meant, two or more backends.  For instance statsd could send
something to a lossy/summarizing rrd-like tool that is suited to
drawing real time graphs, and also to a lossless warehouse that will
record everything for ever, and also to a plain-text log file for
ad-hoc analysis through custom scripts.  I don't know if we'd actually
want to deploy that but it's a neat idea.
