one thing you can do is mark the property groups as unstable - i.e. add 
an astring property with name 'stability', value 'Unstable' -
to the link property groups. i _think_ there was talk about svccfg-based
modifications of unstable property groups triggering a warning in the future, 
and i seem to  recall the plan is for Visual Panels to treat such property 
groups with
suspicion at least. i'm not sure what form this would take, maybe it won't
display such property groups. thanks!
