Heads up for config changes in Nagios 4

[Andreas Ericsson]

Currently, with Nagios 3, it's possible to have cyclic group includes,
like this:
define hostgroup{
    hostgroup_name                 HG1
    alias                          Hostgroup 1
    hostgroup_members              HG3
}
define hostgroup{
    hostgroup_name                 HG2
    alias                          Hostgroup 2
    hostgroup_members              HG1
}
define hostgroup{
    hostgroup_name                 HG3
    alias                          Hostgroup 3
    hostgroup_members              HG2
}

With Nagios 4, that will generate an error. Currently the behaviour
is that the first hostgroup, as determined by alphabetical sorting,
will get the members of its included groups, but the later ones in
the sorting will not get the members of the previous ones, which is
surprising to say the least.

This will work the same for all grouptypes.

Considering the successes of the wars on alcohol, poverty, drugs and
terror, I think we should give some serious thought to declaring war
on peace.
