Re "... key reason ..."
This is revisionist history without basis in fact by an outsider who was not
present at RedHat
Adding Group by value in package content forces rebuilds to Get It Right!.
The better implementation associates Group values with packages, not within
packages, so that the Group taxonomy can be changed, or so that multiple
taxonomies organized by Group can be supported simultaneously.
Readding support for the Group tag in packages within rpm libraries for
alternative depsolver usage 15+ years later without addressing better
implementations is a monumental mistake.
