But that means I need a different notification period for each of my services
that have downtime. I know that might seem like an unnecessary requirement,
but if I have to set up a notification timeperiod for each of these, it means
that I could either: a) have a lot of time periods, or b) lose the tie between
the service and timeperiod.

What I would prefer is to have only a few timeperiods that I assign everything
to, and have "exceptions" to the rule.

Does that make sense? It may be a low requirement RFE, but it would be great
to have that.
