Comment (by martin):

 To me it's not a matter of being a control freak or not, I *do* care about
 the health of the systems I maintain!

 If you can elaborate a use case in OSGeo land which can't be solved
 without distinct groups for every single user, I'll (probably  ;-))  give
 up my resistance.

 Instead, from my perspective the risk to OSGeo's server infrastructure
 isn't a technical one. Better control over directory permissions *is*
 technically possible in many cases, but in some people simply prefer
 granting "sudo" permissions because it's less burdensome and you're not
 going to solve that one by creating thousands of individual user groups.
