Has anybody made a patch to allow a hostgroup name to be used in a
servicegroup definition?
define servicegroup{
servicegroup_name service1
alias alias
members hostgroup1,service1,hostgroup2,service1,hostgroup3,service1
}
I saw some old posts about this on the users list but never any solution.

I am looking at implementing servicegroups, but having to specify for
each host,service would make the members line very very long in my
case.
I also understand many people are using the servicegroup in the
service definition but due to the way we have structured our services
and escalations (all by hostgroup) we tend to be hostgroup centric.
Adding this ability would be key.
