I heartily agree - I could have used this one a few times myself. Thanks!

When I want to temporarily remove a host from mon, I use the "disable"
command. As long as you start up mon with the right options, that will
be preserved across reboots. The suggested "hostname" entry seems confusing
to me, and I think it adds unneeded complexity to mon.cf.
