I know OpenNMS has worked around this by writing their own queuing system for rrd writes and using their own rrd format in a way I believe. I guess from the looks of the state of ZenOSS it's off the table (unless you want to use it on a RHEL machine and could maybe get it via RHX -- would that fit into the philosophy here?) and maybe Zabbix or OpenNMS are the only other realistic alternatives. Of course, OpenNMS isn't packaged for Fedora yet either is it? They do have RPM's however and a yum repo so it might not be a lot of work to get it done.
