I do not think there is anything wrong with detailed
reporting. 

I think that maybe the program needs a specification 
before we can really use metrics to measure
anything.  

I too would like to see IPMT eventually give verbose
output on the state of the registry. However, will 
this not to some extent duplicate functionality of
programs such as asused-public that already exist?

Please clarify what you would like, because I think
I am still confused.

I think that Maldwyn's comments would be useful
here.
