Thought / Concern About Adding Custom Stats

[oracle3001]

I have just added a load of custom stats of my own and have stuck closely to the naming conventions currently used. I have created things like squeeze % etc.

I was just wondering what would happen if as part of a future update these kind of stats were added as "official" stats, but had the same name (and associated count variables names) as custom stats I had created. Would this cause a problem? Would it overwrite my custom stats? Or add stat_name_2 type of thing? Just a thought as I am sure other people are probably doing the same and I have already heard calls for times like squeeze % to be included as part of the default stats.

If you upload your custom statistic to our Repository it should help make sure that (a) it is available later and (b) there aren't any collisions (especially if your statistic is quite popular :)
