"No response" result code inconsistency in nagios-plugins

Hi,
There seems to be a general inconsistency in how "no response"
conditions are handled in some of the plugins. For example:
check_snmp UNKNOWN
check_nt CRITICAL
check_ifoperstatus WARNING
I would have thought that a plugin should return UNKNOWN if nothing
is received unless it's the response itself that's being tested (i.e.
check_ping should obviously return CRITICAL if no packets are received).
Do Nagios folk agree, and if so, is it worth logging this as a bug?
Cheers
- Ian
