I had some hesitations too. For a while I considered changing the
user name itself, but that would cause side effects.
Changing the group name doesn't matter at all. It used to be set
to "unknown", which provides no useful information.

I would like to provide unmistakable feedback, before the user
has a chance to write to the list and be told to run cygcheck.
