Current & Expected Behaviour
Right now, you can access /_system and /_active_tasks on port 5984. However, access to /_stats is buried underneath /_node/<nodename>/_stats, which can be a hassle to get access to.
Hypothetical: you have a local metrics system that you want to be as close to "zero-config" as possible. Unless it is told what the local node's name is, it will be unable to track that machine's stats.
