Yes, there is nothing simpler than a group to represent a group of users.
You end up with a zillion groups - which is pointless and unmaintainable. Thank goodness for ACL support and setfacl/getfacl.
So what do you do when you have user-specific ACLs splattered randomly through the filesystem and the members of the cooperating groups change?
