WOW. I read the whole thing, but I was unable to visualize the vulnerability after about the second paragraph describing it. Maybe it's more mundane than I picture in my head, but …

Nice work! I've been noodling over an alternate backend metrics store using Redis, but probably closer to Mixpanel than Graphite in nature. I'd love to hear more about your pursuit…

Finally we've answered the question "How big do you have to be before writing a custom VM isn't over-engineering?" Facebook Big.
