In fact not because the sole purpose of server tracking is to reflect
a similar state without multiplying checks.

That's nice, thanks. The patch is clean and I didn't spot any
error. I could test it and it's working fine in various tests
I have performed. So I've applied it. However I have made a
minor change : on my display, the MAINT and DOWN colors were
very close to each others and the italics were almost unreadable
on small fonts. So after searching for a while, I have changed
the bgcolor to a light brown which is easily distinguished from
down servers : ".maintain {background: #c07820;}"
I'm hesitating whether we should report the tracking servers the
same color, because it's not an error if they appear down, it's
an expected condition which should not necessarily attrack the
eye. I don't know what you (or others) think about that.
Best regards,
