This API has been discussed ad nauseam across several forums, and this
API represents the latest conclusion. In summary, we will provide this
API as temporary solution for providing the new stats required for 1.2.
In the longterm this API will be split into "essential" stats, which
will be provided by a first-party API served through the kubelet, and
"non-essential" (monitoring) stats, which will be provided by a 3rd
party API served from a pod.
