We may be a bit further along than people realize though.  With 2.6+ we
have proxy failover, and I think logger failover works too if you configure
more than one.  If the manager dies the most noticeable issues are intel,
notices, and sumstats would stop working..  so I think  only a few places
need updating.  At some point the manager process won't be doing anything.
