Here i'll disagree, we have years of experience suggesting people probably wont hence the mess we have now.
IMNSHO this is the result of the crazy rpmlint check (which was the last thing that was removed in the whole thing, long after some packaging committee decided that groups must go, and probably only to actually allow the groups to be removed), which forced people to choose totally stupid and non-fitting groups, and in consequence they decided "fsck it, I'll no longer care". If the first thing of this whole ordeal would have been "let's remove the stupid rpmlint check" and then encourage people to actually use matching groups -- I'm pretty sure the mess would be quite a bit smaller than what we have now. But the "YOU MUST OBEY THE GODLY BOTS" fraction here is much too strong, this is why this all is nowadays the total opposite of "a lot of fun...", and why people no longer care. Just add a stupid workaround so that the bot is happy. For the record: I not only do no longer really care about groups, I also no longer really care if "my" packages are being included in openSUSE, as long as I can easily build them on the build service.
