Comment:

 I had a look (I'm not sure if I should have, if the statistics team wanted
 to review it themselfs). The design makes sense by itself, just two notes:
  - Would it be possible to specify the configuration by the config manager
 instead of the command line options? After all, this way boss needs to
 know the command line options and it is hard to have full runtime
 configuration.
  - Is it needed for the daemon to be running all the time? As we talked on
 the F2F, there's another possibility ‒ havig a cgi script that would
 start, download the data from stats module, produce the output and
 terminate (therefore not running and taking memory) and we could have any
 web server to listen. If it was considered and decided it is not the way
 to go, then OK.
