Can anyone think of any objections to changing the group earlier?
- It's new behaviour
- It will change the ownership of files created by the agent (thus possibly
reducing the security of the agent; eg exposing info, non-root users being
able to change config)
The latter would be the biggest red flag for might. It might be best to
wait until the security can be worked out.
