May anybody explain me please why those groups are needet over all?
We have the group "nobody", so why do we need a group "nogroup"?
I've never seen any application/user using "ntools" or "ctools" what are
they good for? 

And if they aren't of any use, why not silently remove them ...

Thanx in advance.
