Hmm..  Well, I think it is in line with the way the devices themselves
are handled during reset (they are not removed during a reset unless
there was a pending unplug and their info persists).  But you have a
point in that it seems sketchy to leave the group information around,
particularly in cases where the last device associated with the group
has been unplugged.

So yes, I think there is some work to be done here.  I need to
investigate whether a precautionary wiping of the list (minus the
default group) at machine reset is really good enough or whether we need
to remove group info sooner (device unplug).

Thanks,
Matt
