Ok.  But since this group is conceptually the same than the "old" wheel group, 
one "that provides additional special system privileges that empower a user 
to execute restricted commands that ordinary user accounts cannot access", 
why not make a bit of a joke of it?  How about bigwheel (since that's where 
wheel derives from)?

On the other hand, is it really necessary a new group?  Can't adm or operator 
be overloaded with this new functionality? (think Ockham's razor).

Cheers.
