I was revisiting #873 and realized it was probably a mistake to stop notifications if only one of the parents are down (flukes are a thing, hence check_attempts). Making a host no longer notify if all it's parents are down would make sense, except that's what unreachable is, and you can configure whether or not you get unreachable notifications so I'm removing that check for hosts.
The thing I'm a little hung up on is what the expected behavior is for services. There isn't a host_unreachable equivalent (maybe state_unknown but I think that's a little different) so I feel a little bit better about disabling checks if it's host parents are all down, which is what I'm doing here.
Regardless, I'm looking for some feedback from the community as to what they expect from service notifications in instances described in #873
