Disabled sites should be class hosting-warning, enabled but problematic sites should be hosting-error

The hosting site list was showing Disabled sites as being bright red as though they were errors, which was disorienting / ambiguous for some users.
I changed it to use hosting-warning class, which makes it orange-ish, as an alert, which was better.
However I didn't realise that a site that is *Enabled*, but has a task fail (i.e a verify, or a Disable task), changes to use the hosting-warning class too. This made it indistinguishable from disabled sites.
I'd like to change this so that:
a) Disabled sites are orange or amber
b) Enabled sites that have entered some sort of error state, are red
I think this is reasonable because Enabled sites that have a problem need addressing. Also, since the task output that might be an error is also red, this matches up with the 'colour' status of the site then.
See screenshot, where i have a site being provisioned (grey), enabled sites (green), disabled sites (orange), and an enabled site that has had a failed task (heh.. trying to disable a site that has had its platform files deleted!)
My reasoning here, is that a site in a Deleted state, isn't actually shown. So we ought never to see a 'red' site here, unless it is enabled and something is wrong.
See the screenshtot. Thoughts welcome

Updated screenshot. Now a site can be 'red' in two different circumstances:
1) Site is enabled but experiences an error when running a task (site 23, verify failed)
2) Site is not enabled, but has also never been verified (in other words: we have just tried to install this site, and the install failed. So technicaly the site is disabled, but it was never enabled, so it's an immediate problem) - (the tattler sites, since they aren't installable at the moment, see #605356: Tattler profile wont install from installed Tattler proflle
I'm happy to be shot down on this :)

And a patch

reverting it back to hosting-error for disabled sites until this is re-thought
