I'm traveling, but have somewhat functional connectivity ATM, so..

Peter: which would prefer.  Simple noautogroup -> autogroup one time
only boottime enable, and autogroup lives on (I like it for my laptop)
with backport for stable, or fix stable as above, and whack it upstream
as annoyance since systemd (one daemon to bind them..) is being adopted
everywhere?

(other?.. fully function on/off switch?  revert 800d4d30?)
