Right, source statistics. BIND always had ways to dump statistics (8 was
much more complete than 9). It would be nice to do the same thing and be
able to send a signal to syslog-ng and have it dump the information on
events sent, received and dropped, a summary for all sources and dests
and also broken down for each one.

More and more large scale syslog deployments are happening all the time
and syslog-ng arguably has the most mindshare when people think of
deploying syslog. Having advanced statistics in the 1.9/2.0 branch would
steer people to the new branch sooner and get it better tested, IMHO.
