Having varying degrees of health allows for more fine turned conditional configuration. An example would be checking disk usage. You might want a CRITICAL to appear when there is less than X amount of disk space remaining, but you might want to be WARNED well in advanced before it reaches that state where it might cause service interruptions/degradation.

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but it appears currently that the health checks are quite binary, so it currently outputs as either OK or FAIL only.
