Yes, I know that. Maybe I could have been clearer. The hostgroup -template-
still seems to work in, for instance, a service definition even though it
isn't registered. It does not, however, show up in the web interface. 

To see what I mean, create a test host that you don't use elsewhere, a test
hostgroup template (i.e. register property is 0) whose only member is the
test host, and a test service for that hostgroup. When you restart nagios,
the host and service will show up in the "services detail" page but the
hostgroup will -not- show up in the "services overview" or other pages. 

That's the "feature" I'm talking about... and I'm wondering if it continues
to work in 2.0 and if I can count on it.
