It's just not the way Hobbit (or BB, for that matter) works. The latest
status received is always the current one - sending a status with "+30"
only indicates that an update must be received within 30 minutes. It
doesn't mean that this status is valid for 30 minutes no matter what
else is received.

>From my point of view, sending a "green" for a status that is down
is broken. Either send another "red", or don't send anything at all.
