It does look really neat and I agree with Wayne it bears some thought

Wayne, I think what you mean by "a***m like room feature" are reusable
"snippets" of placed and routed components. Is that right?
I'm not sure what it's called in a****m. I seem to remember a
discussion about "rooms" regarding one of the commercial EDA products
but could not say for sure which one. Basically the feature is reusable
blocks of board objects. I think this feature could be really powerful
if we think about the bigger picture rather than just the patch we have
in front of us.

I think this feature would be useful but we should proceed with caution
if we are going to include persistence. I'm guessing making groups
persistent will require a change to the pcb file format. We should
think this through thoroughly before moving forward. Is it possible
that this grouping could be used for an a****m like room feature? If
so, than we need to plan this out accordingly rather than just commit a
new feature for the sake of convenience.
