wrt editing comps.xml ... it depends.

If you are adding new packages that do not currently exist and want to
get them to show up in an existing group, you will need to add them to
that group ...

If you want to add a new group, and put packages in there, then you
would do that.

If you are happy with the groups and package selections as they are ...
then use current one.
