The only problem is that apparently it is hard for an rpm to add a group
when a system is being upgraded between distros; ie, while anaconda
could add this new group just fine, people doing a dist upgrade, it is
claimed, will not get this group installed.
I seem to recall a long-winded discussion about the fedora-usermgmt
package. Perhaps it's time to move it into Core and make it responsible
for creating the groups if needed.
