Ticket #1973, comment 10
initial v1 7 7 * I'm reluctant to remove the "when did we first hear about this server" information, because I think it could sometimes be useful for diagnostics in a live system. Is it removed here because it clutters up the UI, or because it was confusingly represented, or because we didn't think of a reason that it would be useful? Could we change this patch to keep that information visible? 8 8 * We tend to use RFC-3339 absolute timestamps in other places, and I'm a bit uncomfortable with using deltas-until-now in some places and absolute timestamps in others. Do we have a principled reason for which representation to use? Or is it obvious to users which one to expect in each case? Personally, I think I would prefer absolute timestamps, although I haven't tried using the delta timestamps yet to see if they grow on me. Please see #1077, which is a ticket to make all of our time representations be consistently represented to the user and consistently implemented for the developer. 9 * FYI there is a bug in Foolscap such that the connected/disconnected status is sometimes incorrect. (See #816.) I guess this is a separate issue from this ticket, so I *don't*request that we deal with it right now, but I'm just letting you know that there is some closely related functionality (i.e. remove the "status" display entirely) that we might want to do soon. (Also, even if there weren't that bug in Foolscap, it is fundamentally impossible for connected/disconnected status to be always correct, because connections are an illusion.)9 * FYI there is a bug in Foolscap such that the connected/disconnected status is sometimes incorrect.
