You're exaggerating. There's nothing wrong hard-coding things like
number of seconds in a minute (60). While it's not as cast in stone as
60 seconds in a minute, I don't see anything wrong with hardcoding that
"localhost" means the local host.

BTW, do we have anything in place to stop any user on the same host to
send bogus stat messages to the stats collector?
