mce is Machine Check Exception; it's a hardware trickery that watches |
| 19 |
for and records faults in hardware. |

Consider something like Dell's fancy monitoring softwares, the results |
| 22 |
don't magically appear in syslog - you use Dell's client app to query |
| 23 |
the hardware, figure out what the bits means then you can look-see what |
| 24 |
is going on. mcelog is sort of in the same class of software, but it's a |
| 25 |
generic interface. |

You don't *have* to use it, the machines will run just fine without it. |
| 28 |
You will lack some monitoring though that could be useful - that's your |
| 29 |
call. |

As for the cron job files, by all means file a bug. At a minimum you'll |
| 32 |
get an answer as to what the dev thinks about that deprecation status. |
