Yes, same with the old flow-filter.  The new flow-nfilter needs time to
mature, it's had no time in the field yet.

The idea is have flow-stat do the number crunching and export a simple
to parse format then have other front ends written in perl or python
which produce ASCII, HTML, RRD, etc.

The new flow-stat will be in 0.59 if there aren't any major bugs in
0.58.  Probably a few months depending on how distracted I am with
other projects.

What feature do you (or others) want to see for a 1.0?
