I'm +1 on having some sort of support for layer groups in OpenLayers. Especially now that allOverlays is an option, it seems to me that some sort of low level support for guaranteeing certain properties of layer ordering, for example, would be useful.
Whether or not it makes sense to couple this configurability with UI elements in OpenLayers trunk is another question.
