Have a group gets you updates, but it doesn't get you additions.

So you end up having to add package X to the activation key, and doing an
install to all machines in the group.  It'd be quite nice if there was an easy
way of doing that.  Something like System Groups, Packages, Add Packages,
IYSWIM.  Then you'd just have to add the package to the group, and it'd be
installed on all machines in the group and on any new members to the group.
