are host aliases mandatory ? (config check accept it)

[L B]

Hello,

 In the documentation, host aliases are in red, so mandatory, but it
works without configuring them.Can I have problems if I don't define
them ?

I have a database with host descriptions, and I want to avoid
duplicating data. If aliases have to be defined, I will just define
something like "foo"

 Is the error in the config checker or in the documentation ?

Thanks
