I think, we can remove the limitation of group0 is always valid.
There are use cases like each group belongs certain functionality and
based on the packet type or
so application decides the group. In that case, group 0 may or may not valid.
IMO, By spec, we can dictate,
At minimum of one of the group should be valid and selected, Behaviour
is undefined if any of the group is not selected(This is to avoid fast
path check).
