I wrote a loooong mail about this but then I figure I'd spare everyone
my mental ramblings. Basically yes, grouping and stacking are similar
things. And grouping and stacking can be implemented with tags. As can
versions.

It will be a bit cludgy and it will require some "hacks" in order to
make it work however.

So because of that (and to save the sanity of future developers of the
project) I think it would be better to use a clean OO design and add
groups as a "proper" member of the F-Spot design.
