I missed that you can use wildcards in the hostname field. thanks that may save me some work in the future.

I'm migrating a live configuration from v1 to v2 at the same time as correcting some errors and adding functionality and have it would be useful to have all the hostgroups in the configuration files before adding all the hosts. Is it liable to cause pain if I change the code to warn about empty hostgroups rather than fail with an error?
