I think we have different perspectives and it might be because I'm coming from SRE? I personally think dumps are actually the environment, not the code. Beside the maint. script itself, they basically share the same code as Special:Export and that is being used from the appservers. And I think given that dumps has a dedicated group in dbs (similar to api), it feels more environment-y than code-y. (And we are removing code-y groups such as watchlist from dbs). The other reason is that for third parties, they can be using dump scripts but not needing a dedicated dumps group. And last but not least, that global variable doesn't override when a method asks for a different group. e.g. Currently basically all db queries directly called from wikibase has a dedicated group such as "from-client" or "from-repo". We need something to override that for the sake of reliability. I would be open to any idea that would be easy to implement though.
