[Xymon] "Disable until change"

We often use "disable until ok", but it was brought to my attention that it has burned us from time to time. For example:

Host foo is yellow on disk. But that's ok. We're going to allocate some new storage for it in the next service window. The test is marked "disable until ok". But before the service window arrives, something chews up a whole bunch of disk and the now-red test continues to be blue because the test is not yet ok.

We sometimes use "acknowledge" for this function, but the non-green screen can get kind of cluttered this way.

Does anyone have a good way to fake "disable while status remains unchanged"?

Do things because you should, not just because you can.
