This could be worded better in the commit message.  Previously, you
were able to configure multiple remote maintenance points, and check
the fault status of each of those maintenance points individually in
addition to the CFM object's fault status.  Now you can only check the
CFM object's fault status.  Since we only allow one remote maintenance
point, you can infer the fault status of the remote maintenance point
from that, but you can't read it directly.

I'd kinda wanted to delete the support.  Justin thought we should keep
it around in case we ever need support for multiple remote maintenance
points again in the future.  I'm more or less neutral on the subject I
suppose.
