Grouplist does indeed show both things like "Administration Tools" and "system tools" (whose loss would obviously dump me in the soup) and others like "Georgian support" and "Tajik support" for languages I wouldn't be able to identify if I had a book in them in my hands. It also distinguishes between Installed Groups and Available Groups; that may come in very handy.
