That would leave us in a bit of a difficult position since we ship userconfig by
default since forever in Kubuntu and it does support group management. If we
were to ship a tool that didn't support it, some users would rightfully see
this as a regression.
It is not rare to find online how-to's that suggest making changes in group
membership, so I think it's not just power users that will care about this.
While it can be done copy/paste in konsole, I think it's better to give users
tools that enable them to do everything in the GUI if they choose.
