In practice, tracing *is* a monitoring feature as well, since we produce numbers that people can follow out of the traces, so maybe this paragraph needs to be rewritten.. also remember that we are considering a conceptual change to the structure of our documentation and probably all that a akka-specific page might need at the end are links to examples and external resources (like your upcoming activator template :)).

I need to discuss this in more detail with @dpsoft and we will get back to you when we have a clearer position on this matter.
