This wasn't the first time this solution has been suggested, and if I
understand Mr. Moya correctly, this is essentially the solution that has
been implemented in 1.5.x.  While this is certainly an improvement, I
still don't understand what would be so difficult about giving the user
the option to disable alarms that are more than some configurable amount
of time overdue.  But I guess I'm just a user here, not a developer on
this project.
