@Liusheng, glad to hear you agree with me :). this is mostly for discussion whether or not this is acceptable to everyone (or majority). if it is, i will write up a blueprint to discuss the scope.

i think some issues we would need to address is:
1. what to do with existing 'meters' in metering db? do we write a script to migrate them to events?
2. how do we let users continue to record them as events? do we edit event_definition file to support these 'meter' event? and what traits do we decide to capture?
3. what do we do about alarming? i would think we would still need to do alarming on events.
... anything else?
