 ? add gettext support. Is this really needed for a server
   utility?
 
-* send an email when fail2ban is running
-
-* add multithreading. Python threading is not really
-  efficient. However, fail2ban could benefit of it. We could
-  use threads like this:
-  - one thread which check for host to unban.
-  - one thread per file to watch. This will allow things like
-    different polling time for each file.
-  <srv> is read-only (we only read log files) thus no locks
-  are required. However, <meth> is read-write and must take
-  care of concurrency in case of multithreading.
-
-- add FAM/Gamin support. Should be quite efficient with
-  threading. Take care that handle_one_event() release the
-  Python lock.
-
 # add a test framework. We could use unittest which is in
   Python since 2.1. It should be possible to run all tests
   automatically.
 
-* add client/server using socket. Something similar to
-  gdesklets. DBUS seems to be designed for desktop use.
-  - fail2ban start -> start the daemon.
-  - fail2ban stop -> stop the daemon.
-  - fail2ban add <srv> <meth> -> add <srv> monitoring with
-    <meth> ban method (iptables, hosts.deny, etc).
-  - fail2ban del <srv> -> remove <srv> monitoring.
-  - fail2ban status <srv> -> query current fail2ban status.
-    Should return infos like a ban counter. Could be graph
-    with rrdtool.
-  - fail2ban pause <srv> -> suspend monitoring.
-  - fail2ban resume <srv> -> resume monitoring.
-  - fail2ban list -> list available services.
-  - fail2ban flush <srv> -> flush the <srv> ban list.
-  
-* remove PID file.
-
-* remove most of the command lines options if possible.
-
-* add the possibility to specify wildcard in log files.
-  Example: logfile = /var/log/apache2/access-*.log
-  Should we start one thread per file or just one thread per
-  serivce?
-  We use just one thread per service
-
 # autodetect date format in log file. Match the most popular
   format and sort them using the hit ratio. Should avoid
   user problem with regex and not have a big impact on perfs.
