We use and love supergroups here, but I agree - if the default were to have 
changed, it should have been at the 1.6 release. I know it's a bit early to 
talk about 1.8, but if anybody is developing a feature release list, 
supergroups ought to be on it.

For what it's worth, our 1.4.X pts servers have run with significant use of 
supergroups for years without crashing. So at least on Linux, the code seems 
pretty stable._______________________________________________
