Another option would be to just rename groups in core to organizations
and change them to behave like organizations do in the spec, because
impression I get is that organizations with organization auth is the
core feature that everyone wants, not groups. Or don't even bother to
rename them, just leave them being called groups, and don't use the word
organization. Main problem with this is the number of tests that would
have to be rewritten.
