Yeah, there's a mix of awesome and what? stuff.

> Device Identification

(Considering it seems you need a proprietary lib)

> mailers

> lua

All seem to be be moving away from what HAProxy is/was. It's not an application server. It's not a webserver. It's not a mail server.

Lua is kinda awesome, though. Use it with plenty of common sense and it can be a very powerful tool.
I guess part of my concern with Lua was the example on the linked article. It seems to be able to interface with most of the system and not just as a content source, which makes more sense.
