[rrd-users] Direct RRA updates

This was my very first idea but I haven't dared to even send it to
this list. Sould this "ugly tripple update" be approved by You, Tobi,
I am going to use it :-)

So is it a common mistake of scripts built upon rrdtool to define
several RRAs with steps=1? Will the "rrdtool graph" take (for example)
data from RRA:AVERAGE::1 when requested to draw recent MAX of a DS
(and there is no RRA:MAX::1 present)?
