Comment:

 Hello

 As this is only prototype code, I didn't take a close look to stuff like
 programming and style practices and mostly ignored the tests in the review
 as well.

 I've noticed some slight things, that may be just because this is simple
 experimental version:
  * It seems the list of items (or whatever it is called) is generated from
 spec files manually rather than dynamically on the fly. As the daemons
 might come and go and nothing really makes them say where their spec file
 is (provided it is in a file at all), this doesn't seem correct.
  * When a request is made, it downloads the whole set of statistics over
 message bus and then picks the single one it needed. Shouldn't it ak only
 for the needed data?
  * While the http stats daemon servers its own http daemon, this one seems
 to be used from inside some other external tool. It is slightly
 inconsistent, but I don't think it should pose some other kind of problem.

 Or, was this the purpose of the review? I'm not sure, if you don't want to
 merge to master, it feels slightly unusual.

 Thanks
