As explained in #6775, this has been done for the following reasons:
1. It's also Request::getHost()
2. The term hostname has been obsoleted in
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#appendix-D.2 and uses the host only
3. hostname in the RFC was defined as the registered domain name, but we
probably also want to match IP-Adresses with the pattern which is the
host = IP-literal / IPv4address / reg-name for.
This PR was merged into the master branch.

In #5989, it has unanimously been decided to renamed `hostname_pattern` to `hostname` and `pattern` to `path`. That makes a lot of sense and I would like to do the renaming now as `hostname_pattern` is new in Symfony 2.2, so I'd like to avoid breaking BC just after the release. As we are modifying the route options, I've also included changes introduced by @Tobion in #6049 which were discussed in #5990.
As everything is BC, I think it's wise to include that in 2.2. What do you think?

I agree it should be done in 2.2. Thanks for working on it.

@fabpot "Everything is BC" until it breaks BC in 3.0, that's why I'd like to see [deprecations in PR summary](https://github.com/symfony/symfony-docs/pull/2116) what do you think ?

it would also be great to update the CHANGELOG with deprecations (it could also help people answering your question)

@vicb: I've just updated the CHANGELOG and created the UPGRADE file for 3.0.
