The host and service availability reports for single services and hosts
show both scheduled and unscheduled downtimes. However, the report for
multiple hosts shows only the total downtime with no distinction between
scheduled and unscheduled downtime. I guess Philipp wants to have that
distinction in all reports (and I agree that would be useful).

later versions.
