Don't ack them, move them to the history.
Zenoss determines the current status of devices by looking at the
outstanding events. Ack'ing the event lets all the operators know that
someone is on top of the problem without clearing it from the system.
Moving the event to the history clears eliminates it from the "current"
system state.
