That assumption of a correlation between the two isn't always true and/or relevant, though. I'm not sure a bug got filed about it, but I think the idea was to flag the lagged databases as being knowingly lagged during planned maintenance, essentially. And then change the maxlag output from the API accordingly. That seemed to be the theme of the thread, as I remember it.
