No idea what you're talking about....except that you're obviously confusing people, in this case Nicolas François and me. For sure, both of us have an horrible French accent (and are part of shadow maitnenance...though Nicolas is clearly the one maintaining the code), but that shouldn't appear in our mails..:-) In the mail you're answering to, I was trying to summarize my understanding of the issue and propose a way to bring a solution to the problem you're facing....without changing the default behaviour of groupmod. I see this as a quite fair proposal. The point is not denying your concerns, but more addressing them without creating other problems.
