      - integration with an external event loop, eg libevent
      - non-blocking v3 and agentx probes
    - discuss again in January
Technical

  - long discussion... something is wrong and different kernels support adding addresses to existing interfaces in different ways.
    - is fedora broken by forcing alias addressing?
- Wiki captcha is broken - "socket closed".
  - wes will check

    - remove these? Hopefully they're not widely used?
    - dts12 failed to find google searches for them
  - udpbase_send/recv to ipv4
