I should clarify that I was referring to the individual status pages for a
host (pulled live via svcstatus.cgi, or a static HTML generation if
enabled).

If you want to prevent an entire *page* from reflecting the worst status
if that status has been acked, you can pass the --nopropack=* option to
xymongen in your tasks.cfg entry.
