So if Nagios configs are the only thing you use stored configs for, thin stored configs will work just fine?
If so, I forsee a switch in our future. :) Also, since you mentioned it... how difficult is it to upgrade from 0.25 to 2.6 / 2.7? I've been curious to upgrade but for the most part everything's been working fine so I've been holding off. Will I need to rewrite parts of my config?
