 Hello, thank you for reviewing.

 Replying to [comment:7 jelte]:
 > The changes in get_stats_data() in boss make the stats daemon quit
 during startup. That obviously needs to be fixed :)
 Sorry, I couldn't understand that. Do you mean the new _get_stats_data()
 method can stop the stats daemon starting? Could you explain how should I
 fix? In the former code, boss might have accidentally stopped because of
 the wrong format.

 > But also, it is probably a good idea not catch formatting errors in the
 stats daemon, and log an error if that happens (but to keep running)
 Do you mean boss should check the format of statistics data being sent
 out?  I don't think the validation is always needed because the format is
 constant in boss.  And should it log if it is invalid? The stats module
 logs an error when it receives the wrong format from boss.
