Oh, it always had two names, metrics-lib and DescripTor.  We have been
referring to it as DescripTor lately, that's why I used that name in
the announcement.  But it's the same thing.

No, same thing.  The DirPort fetching in DescripTor/metrics-lib is
actually something that doesn't work so well, which is why CollecTor
uses its own code for that.  There are no plans to split up
metrics-lib at this point.

All the best,
Karsten
