That would totally rock!

There are a couple of other exporters which I think would be of quite 
high interest to a lot of sites, such as the snmp_exporter. Perhaps I 
could assist you packaging some of them.

The upstream version presents version number "0.15.0-rc.1", which 
doesn't throw any errors in the semver.Parse function 
(https://github.com/blang/semver/blob/master/semver.go). However, the 
Unsee dashboard uses the MustParse() variant of that function, which of 
course panics if Parse() returns an error.

As you may have seen in the Github issue I opened, somebody is working 
on it to hopefully make it a little more tolerant and robust.
