MMM dealing with events out-of-sync?

[Arjen Lentz]

This timeline does not make sense:
 a) cat has a problem
 b) cat is ok
 c) cat state changed because not ok.
 d) cat state to awaiting recovery.

c would have been done before b. And if it wasn't, it should not have been done at all since it was already clear that cat was ok again (as per b). right?
