There is **some truth** in that in terms of the one size fits all methodology that
Skyline was framed around. With hundreds of thousands of metrics this does make
Skyline fairly hard to tame, in terms of how useful it is and tuning the noise
is difficult. Tuning the noise to make it constantly useful and not just noisy,
removes the "without the need to configure a model/thresholds" element somewhat.

So why continue developing Skyline?

Because it works and because it is Python. Being Python based allows Skyline to
integrate with a lot of other awesome things in the machine learning and
scientific Python ecosystem. It's modularity makes it is very flexible.
The architecture/pipeline works very well at doing what it does. It is solid and battle tested.
To overcome some of the limitations of Skyline. This project extends it.

With some time and tuning, Skyline works!

The architecture/pipeline works very well at doing what it does, it is based on
solid, battle tested components, Python and Redis.
