Interestingly enough we are doing this to make a distributed polling
tier for Nagios that scales well horizontally :). I understand your
concern about beta, in my mind it was nice in that it is one less
config file / cron job script to manage, the scheduler keeps all
things database in the database. I like the idea of that.
My past experiences with MysQL beta functionality has been good, but
we will be doing proof of concept and lab testing before proceeding.
