Dave,

Aren't we actively using healthchecks plugin now?
Are we then planning to deprecate that as well when 10.0.0 comes along?
Thanks.

I believe parent_select was actually an effort to move "Strategies" out of
the core.  Rob Butts was doing the work, so it's been dead since he moved
on.  I don't really grok any clear advantage, but Alan was a big advocate
of it.
