I've searched the archives but have not yet found an answer to a
question raised by this post. Perhaps someone can clue me in...

I'm wondering why hostgroup escalations have been removed. I've not yet
upgraded to Nagios 2, still using 1.2, but I use the hostgroup
escalations a bit, and I'm about to add quite a bit more. Will this
cause me problems when I get around to upgrading to N2?

Perhaps there is a new, more efficient way of escalating notifications
for all hosts in a particular group? If so, then I don't really need to
know why it was removed, I just want to be sure that a future upgrade
won't disrupt my entire escalation process.

TIA
