[tahoe-dev] What's wrong with my test using check_load.py

[Zooko O'Whielacronx]

Hi there!

I haven't heard of anyone using check_load.py ¹ in a long time, and
there are no automated tests of it, so it has probably bit-rotted.

I'm going to suggest that we delete check_load.py or else write unit
tests for it in order to fix it and prevent it from bit-rotting again.

However, Daira Hopwood recently created a similar test for our use in
https://LeastAuthority.com's commercial service. Daira: would you be
interested in comparing your monitoring script with check_load.py, and
possibly merge them or replace check_load.py with your script?

Regards,

Zooko
