While on the subject of feature wishlists, how about this one?

We have servers with file systems on them that are completely user-land.
The OS and related stuff is all our responsibility, and we look after
it, but the apps file systems are looked after by the users.
If it fills up and the apps choke, it's not our issue. 
If the OS chokes, it becomes our problem.
[wants alerts to go to different people, depending on what filesystem is
 filling up]

You do that with the GROUP setting. In hobbit-clients.cfg, configure the
thresholds for the disks with a GROUP setting:

   HOST=appserver
      DISK /apps/vol1 80 90 GROUP=userfiles

Then in hobbit-alerts.cfg you use the GROUP value to direct alerts:

   GROUP=userfiles
   	MAIL user-18b8c29f8e77@xymon.invalid

You can of course combine the GROUP setting in hobbit-alerts.cfg with
other criteria, e.g.

   GROUP=userfiles
        MAIL user-325d01a66333@xymon.invalid HOST=appserver1
        MAIL user-e6bcb677a51f@xymon.invalid HOST=appserver2
