I don't understand your point, the current logic can generate a false 
positive for example by generating a hard non-ok state for a service 
just before a soft recovery happens for the associated host.

For example if a user want to reduce the number of false positive by 
increasing max_check_attempts it won't have any effect on avoiding hard 
non-ok state for services on soft down host.

I think that adding this king of logic would reduce false positive 
instead, wouldn't it ?

Cheers,

Paul
