> @Harald: Do we want to deprecate osmo_counter?

not that I'm aware of.  For sure, they are the oldest type of counter we have in the code, so they are a bit 'legacy'. But indeed, they are the only type of counter that can resemble a 'gauge'.  However, none of the values converted by this patch would ever decrement, so a rate_counter gives the user (without any external statsd) the advantage to give an idea abou the current rate vs. the rate last hour/day/week, so I think it is generally a good idea to convert.
