Comment(by Denis-de-Bernardy):

 new patch uploaded implementing this as follows:

  - on failure: increment a counter for the service, once per day at most
  - after 14 such failures (that would mean 14 distinct days during which
 an error occurred!), drop service
  - on success, reset the counter if it's incremented

 in other words, ping services get dropped if they consistently fail, no
 matter what their error message. fixes issues such as:

  - services returning 403/404/410
  - services returning junk (erroneous urls)
  - services that are always down

 I could amend the patch a little bit to have it send a message to the
 site's admin's email, if feedback is absolutely necessary.
