I'm glad we're having this discussion. And I'd like to modify my
stand to be the following actually:
- full SNMP support, with TRAPS. This is key to me.
- the Memory/CPU graph could be in something less dynamic which is
more widely supported in browsers.

I agree, keeping it simple to use is a good thing.

I'm not wild about SVG, though as more and more browsers support it
natively, it will become a moot point.
My desires for m0n0 are:
- full SNMP support
- NTP server
- better VOIP shaping support
- WRAP support continued
- logout button on Web GUI. I know this has been hashed
before, but I still think it's wrong.
