Hey everyone -- I was wondering about getting htop installed

the infrastructure, as I think this will help with on-the-fly checking of
issues. For example, if load average is high, it is very easy using htop
to sort by CPU, and see exactly what is causing the issue. If RAM usage is
abnormal, it's easy to sort by that. It also has some other features that
could prove useful.
A prime example of when this could have been useful was when hosted01's
load averages went up to near 60 last night. It would have made finding the
issue quite a bit faster for me.
I asked on IRC what would have to be done to go about getting it installed,
and was informed that the first step is to write to the mailing list and
check
for any objections, which is the purpose of this email. So, I'll
formally ask:
Are there any objections to getting htop installed globall throughout the
infrastructure?
It's in EPEL and is 67k, disk-space-wise according to yum.
Thoughts?

you wait until you get at least 3-4 +1s from the
sysadmin-main folks. Keeping in mind, that any additional application is
an additional potential attack vector.
