jeffp,
Mark answered my submission to [email protected]. His answer was very
concise:
We don't currently recycle group names except when asked. If you run
into this, you can email us and we're recycle a given name for you.
That's not at all the answer I would have expected. Or rather, I would have expected that answer for the primary group names, but not the names of subgroups.
However I just verified it in my test group.
I don't see a reason for this restriction on subgroup names. I think it must be just an artifact of the subgroup implementation being largely the same as primary group implementation.
