Inexplicably, the alerts have stopped coming for yellow conditions. The
thing that threw me was the fact that, after I edited ALERTCOLORS and
restarted hobbit, it still sent out one or two additional alerts for a
yellow condition. Is there some sort of alert "pipeline" that had to
empty out?

One behavior which I didn't expect is that I'm getting alerted for
yellow conditions. I've edited hobbitserver.cfg such that the relevant
lines now look like this:

#ALERTCOLORS="red,yellow,purple"        # Colors that may trigger an
alert message
ALERTCOLORS="red,purple"                # Colors that may trigger an
alert message

Then reloaded hobbit without effect, then tried restarting it, but no
joy - I'm still getting alerted about yellow conditions. How can I make
hobbit perform as expected in this regard?
