Hi!
First off: thanks for all your work, it didn't quite expect so
much (and such constructive/worthwile) feedback.

I think one could make a case for x being everything that
concerns the current state of an object, i.e. mainly
acknowledgement(s). The w flag could be used for en/disabling
(semi)permanent stuff, like disabling active checks.
On the other hand, many actions (like schedule downtime) would
fall into a grey area, so maybe using x for all of them and
"keeping" w for later is better.

This was the default in our installation (by way of not having an
asterisk in the corresponding line(s) in the main config file.

I'll try to get a peek at it this week.
Thanks, again (all of you).
