That should actually be caught by another 4.3.0 feature: Flap detection.
If a status changes more than 10 times in 10 minutes, Hobbit deems it
"flapping" and stops logging status changes - instead, it fixes the
status at the most critical level reported.

Any hosts flapping are reported on the "hobbitd" status display.
