ok, point taken. good to have the counterpart in such a discussion :)

i wasn't there in the very beginning, but from my perspective it's still 
backward compatible while reaching out for new things. try compiling 
livestatus against the nagios header files it uses, but against icinga. 
it will work in productive environments (otherwise community feedback 
would have been provided - which we already had, remember those 
contactgroup functions you've removed upstream, and i did too). so maybe 
you'd just give it a git pull, configure, make all, make fullinstall and 
use merlin against it. i'm pretty sure it will work out.
