Me too :-) I took that approach moving from 2.7 to 3.0. It took a while with 1700 or so hosts, but I feel the effort was worth it as I've been able to take advantage of most of the new features in Nagios 3 and tidy up my config in the process. I also took the opportunity to move to Ubuntu LTS so hopefully I won't need to do a Linux upgrade for a while. I recommend maybe getting hold of one of the recent published books on Nagios 3. "Nagios 3 Enterprise Network Monitoring" published by Syngress has a comprehensive section on what's new in Nagios 3 which I found invaluable. Otherwise I always highly recommend "Nagios" by Wolfgang Barth 2nd Ed. published by NoStarch Press.
