I'd prefer not to submit anything to the Trac system
until/unless there is consensus from many doubters
that there is a compelling use-case for "group-aware" CF.

Understandable. It's rather amorphous because there
are features (e.g. "ensemble"), structure (groups),
and properties (group metadata inheritance) involved.
Although the three could be segregated, I need to have a
better sense of CF? receptiveness to each of the three.
That way no one is tasked with writing a convention
extension that immediately becomes obsolete.

The above is all I can say now.
I think the ongoing discussion of a compelling use-case
will reveal a lot about the possibility of any changes
to CF.
Best,
