Since we adopted Skylight to get response times across endpoints and
instances, we failed to get accurate numbers. Our Rails version is not
supported and thus Skylight fails to provide data for the slowest
endpoints, the ones we care about the most. Even with a supported one we
could potentially hit any limits on tracing and have the same problem.
Recently, we started paying for Datadog's APM and the experience,
although it's still early, has been better. It makes it possible to
correlate between services and other metrics which helps spotting the
underlying issues.
Therefore, having two agents running on the server consumes system
resources so we better get rid of Skylight's one.

It aims to aid new open source contributors on setting up their dev
env by means of a single command with meaningful output.
Although ofn-install ansible scripts also work for development we don't
want to add too much burden to those single-time beginner contributions.
