I was proposing repurposing the Group tag. Nobody uses it for installing
package groups nowadays. Actually I don't think it ever was used like
that. It was always used more like a category.

For example in ccdciel package:
Group: astronomy, astrophotography, imaging, telescope
However I don't know if Group is a scalar or a vector. Vector tag would
be more suitable, so that a package manager got the list already parsed
as:
Group: astronomy
Group: astrophotography
Group: imaging
Group: telescope

This works now:
$ dnf -q repoquery --qf '%{GROUP} %{NAME}' | grep Games
If yum repodata provided a reverse index (a mapping from a group to
package names), then "dnf -q repoqeury --what-group Games" would also
work.
