We don't use NK at all so I will have to investigate it to see if it's
useful to us. Grouping items regardless of how critical they are would
still be incredibly useful for us to troubleshoot just about anything,
even less critical stuff.

This is how our network is run. It's a challenge to keep things green
but they're supposed to. Windows hosts do always go red if someone's
printer isn't mapped during remote desktop so in almost all cases we
completely disable syslog monitoring in windows. The same holds true
to other systems- if something is red a lot we must come up with a fix
or change how we're monitoring things. The non-green page is used the
most.

I'm still curious what those two code snippets are for? Again they
were in bbdisplay/pagegen.c:

	bb2page.subpages = NULL;
	bb2page.groups = NULL;
