It's nowhere near a drop-in replacement. With some microscopic fixes
centreonbroker can be a replacement for Merlin (or vice versa), but
right now the database schema is far from compatible with NDOUtils.

I'm not on the CentreonBroker team, but I had a look at their DB
schema and didn't recognize anything even remotely NDO-ish in it.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
