How is this different from the current behaviour if the Show Users for
Privileges option is turned on? The whole point there is to promote the
use of group based permissions rather than user based for both
simplicity (because the list only shows the groups), and for cleanliness
of design (users come and go, groups tend to be more permanent). In 8.1+
of course, we simply replace users and groups with roles with or without
the login flag.

Probably a good idea, yes.

OK.
