What you're really saying is "get all the garbage I don't want off in a
top-level group by itself where I can ignore it", or possibly "get all
the good stuff that I do want into one pile so I can pick it up easily".
Unfortunately, the definitions of "garbage" and "good stuff" are very
site-specific, and what helps one sysadmin will hamper another.
