Yep.  We have already beefed up group handling quite a bit in the past
few releases, so if we can take it the extra steps needed, we can just
make ROLE and GROUP synonymous and be done with it.

I think the one missing item mentioned was for group ownership of an
object.  However, if we give group _permission_ to the object, I am not
sure why ownership is an issue.  Are there certain permission we can't
give to the group?
