yes but right now user and groups admin pages are templates part of xwiki-web module so hard to move them quickly. My vote was about starting the idea of separation and having a place for stuff about users. Once we have that we know where we want to put stuff in the future even if we can't do it right now. In term of modules I'd still keep groups separate from users I think, ie in a xwiki-platform-groups/ module for groups.
