My interpretation of the parameter is that passive host results are  
not automatically HARD but instead follow the same processes as an  
active check. Upon reaching max_check_attempts, nagios sets the host  
into a HARD state. That would be most logical given the previous  
behavior and the other changes to host checking but I don't really  
care enough about it to go look in the source (I'm not running 3.x  
yet). ;)
