I have a vague memory that I tried that already, and it turned out to be a breaking change. Happy to stand corrected.

This is all planned for the v0.10 (soon to be renamed v2) milestone. I still need to finalize the grand design of it to enable detailed work like this one....

This might be one of the cases where exposing a timestamp is legitimate. Client libraries don't support that yet (for reasons…). I filed https://github.com/prometheus/client_golang/issues/187 to consider during my ongoing `client_golang`...

I'll leave this open to vet later.

Update to current state of the art: Blackbox exporter is solving this with a new custom registry per scrape, see https://github.com/prometheus/blackbox_exporter/blob/master/main.go#L127 . Also, see discussion [starting here](https://github.com/prometheus/client_golang/issues/228#issuecomment-475214970) about passing a...

I mostly assigned this to myself as a “default” because I used to be the maintainer of this repo. Therefore, I'm un-assigning this from myself no. New maintainers @bwplotka &...

Which, I guess, circles back to the question if we should link to different solutions for the same problem, with some comments about the different trade-offs taken. The old stance...

FTR: I never believed that only listing one solution would unify the community. More the contrary. But we had this discussion elsewhere a while ago.
