[Xymon] Acknowledge purple?

[John Thurston]

Having recently moved from Big Brother to Xymon, one of the features I 
find most valuable is 'acknowledge'. It lets someone say 'yeah, I know 
the host has a problem' while leaving an indication of the condition on 
the web interface.

What I don't understand, though, is why we are not able to 'acknowledge' 
purple events. It seems desirable and I can't see how it would cause 
confusion.

I've looked in acknowledge.c, and it appears that is is explicitly 
querying for 'color=red,yellow'.

Is there a business case to exclude purple from the option to 'ack'?
