Yes, at least one other distribution mentioned a "video" group, so
maybe that is a candidate for upstream :)

We use uucp in lieu of dialout iirc.  Ultimately though, this is easy
enough to work around as long as distributions know what the upstream
default is *and* that default doesn't change...

Re nvram group, I don't see why it shouldn't be root or kmem - is
there a legitimate reason why a normal user should have write access
to /dev/nvram?
