On the subject of a roadmap/plan

Was there ever a plan to merge/integrate the source for Xymon and
Devmon, or did I dream it?
I think you dreamed it.  I am not able to use devmon because it doesn't
support snmp v3.  Devmon is written in perl and uses the SNMP_utils
libraries originally distributed with MRTG, while MRTG now also distributed
the Net_SNMP-utils libraries that do support snmp v3.
Some other user who has a need for SNMPv3 is currently working on SNMPv3 
support in Devmon.
Henrik discussed
 snmp support using the Net SNMP C libraries that would support snmp v3.
That is a very small portion of the problem on SNMP support ...

Just collecting interface stats is trivial ....
