I'm against to count and size works equally since I would want to know how
many grouped records do I have (i.e.: how many roles do I have on
determining relation).
I think that count and size is working as both should.
Although, if you want to count all records of a grouped relation, you have
to remove the group or just sum the counts:
User.count
or:
User.group(:role).count.values.sum
Not elegant but if you can't remove the group for that count, you have to
do that.
One possible option would rails have something like regroup(false) as
reorder(false), but again I think that just adding the values is more
easier for everyone :)
