I thought that was covered by your answer one week ago :

- me: hey
- question from jakob
- Why would you ever only install core/base-devel without testing/base-devel if
- you have the testing repo enabled? In my opinion it's just weird having to go
- through the 'Install all from group / install individual pkg' step twice.
- 
- Allan: I tend to agree...
- but that is just thinking about the arch repos...
- what if you have a third party repo with a group that has the same name as in
- another third party repo
- weird but possible?

It would be bad to push a minor release that break some frontends though.
However if we make sure that the whole 3 frontends (clyde, shaman, pyalpmm*, any
others) don't fail hard on unknown callbacks but ignore them instead, it's fine.
