If it ain't broke don't fix it, right?  Anyway, one minor problem is the fact that in the nagios configuration, the members directive for a hostgroup can only support a certain number of entries, due to the fact that the members directive takes a comma delimited list of members and that list, it seems, can only be a maximum of 2000ish (I think, I don't recall off hand) characters.  Like:

8192 characters, to be exact…

They do not.

While I would certainly suggest you consider upgrading, there are many changes between 1.4 and 3.x that make it more of a project than a quick fix. In the meantime, you could just increase the limit in your current version and recompile --
