Would tend to agree, due to issues with RECOVERED and DURATION
processing, and the seeming conflict of interest between the alerts and
the flap suppression algorithms.  I have on occasion considered
outboarding the alert processing, and just having Hobbit send alerts for
anything to a custom script, where I could exert finer control.
