Sub-optimal host & service contact_group inheritance

[Matthew Richardson]

Hi Ethan,

I was wondering whether you had had the opportunity to have a look at the
lssue below.

I am not sure whether it is a real problem or, alternatively, whether my
intuition as to how I had expected it to work is defective!

Best wishes,
Matthew
