Well, at least cdrom, floppy and disk. I thought there were default ?

No, as noted, the latest iso does not create the cdrom group.

But maybe they were created by the ISO I used in those old times... ;-)
Otherwise I need to create them in udev spell.

You need to at least check for it before using it. We have a bug report in
IRC on this failing for one person so far.

Packages should use create_account/create_group for users/groups they
need to work.

No it changes the owner group, the owner is still root, i.e. here on my
box :

If we're changing permissions on existing devices it's bad whether it's
user or group. People could already have their access set up how they want
it using the groups already there. But I'm still not sure if we're talking
about changing permissions on existing installs or just defaults for new
ones.

It sounds like these changes only change the default
permissions/ownership, if the user setup their own rules then those
override the defaults, correct?
