A line of best fit is more for finite data sets as in scatter graphs.
Rrd archives go on forever, but taking the graphed timespan as a 
finite dataset could do.

Drawing a true sloping line of best fit would take a lot of programming.
I wouldn't dare to program the logic in CDEF rpn language. But I'm not
a mathematician. 

Drawing just the average seems a bit crude to me. I'd at least add the 
standard deviation to it. I have some graphs that do just that, but I 
store the standard deviation in the rrd database the moment I put the 
data in the database.
