While the requirement makes sense for the servicegroups table (there can be multiple hosts with the same service), it is actually harmful when querying the host table: One can't formulate queries like "give me all hosts which don't have service FOO".
To keep backwards compatibility and enabling such queries, the "hostname|" prefix is optional for those columns in the host table now.
