Nope. I do this for pretty much all of my hosts, actually. For  
example, all printers are in a "Printer" host group, to associate  
services as well as group all printers together. Additionally, I have  
a host group for each location we have machines in, so a printer in  
Barrow would be in both the printer hostgroup (for the services) and  
the "Barrow" hostgroup (for the location). Makes it easy to find all  
the machines in barrow, as well as all the printers.
