Yann--

I hate trap doors in UIs, meaning actions you take that lead you to a 
new state from which you can not easily (or ever) revert.

Therefore I hate radio button groups in which initially no button is 
selected (typically representing an "all" or "none" state), but once 
you select a button you can never return to the no-button-selected 
state.

So I absolutely recommend, and indeed implore, you to include an 
initially-selected "all" or "none" radio button, as appropriate.
