I disagree, I can't think of a valid reason to do that (besides
reporting with I don't use at that level). Since host downtime suppress
service notifications, why bother with services?
I'd be *really* annoyed if after a maintenance that took less time than
expected, of after fixing up a server that went down unexpectedly, I'd
have to remove the downtime not only for the host but for every single
services on it. I'd be even more if it happened on one of these special
hosts that have 30+ services associated to it. With one of the new
Nagios instances I'm currently setting up it gets even worse with hosts
with over 60 services on it and a special one with well over 100!

I'm not at all against this, my concerns were mainly about using this
patch as a workaround for a reporting bug.
I would recommend making sure the CGI documentation clearly say that
host downtime already suppress service notifications.
