[Bug 1068433] [NEW] Collecting and plotting the uptime is pointless

[Simon Déziel]

Public bug reported:

Collecting and plotting the uptime seems pointless as this gives no
valuable information. Enabling this plugin by default when installing
munin-node will waste resources when polling all nodes and also when
generating graphs. I think the default setup should not enable this
plugin. Of course, this is a "wishlist" item.

If I missed the point completely and graphing the uptime is useful I'd
like to know why/how.
