What about a hosting environment where you need to have user files
world-readable (HTML documents or (PHP) scripts readable by www-data),
but don't want them readable by other customers? You could achieve
that by putting all customers in a common group ("users") and setting
the files 604 or the like.

All well and good, but perhaps they care to share the reasoning
leading to that decision. ;)

It would be much more interesting to learn _why_ you feel so (and not
just that you do) - particularly as I'm sure I'm not the only one ;)
who has trobule to understand such reasoning.

Does insserv fail then because it is inherently unable to mimic the
Snn/Knn behaviour or due to wrong (missing, ...) dependency info in
the initscripts? If it's the latter, the right solution would be
fixing the scripts, I think.

At least for the non-native speaker of English "idiosyncratic" may
rhyme very unfortunately with "idiotic"; that may be Bernhard's point.

Because such a change needs manual intervention, I presume.

Yes, FTP support has been removed from Firefox since version 90 in 2021,
but Firefox is - first and foremost - a browser, not a FTP client or RSS
reader (RSS support has been removed from Firefox in 2018, but RSS is
still not obsolete).
