I disagree that collaboration among users is a good reason to use the 'users' group. Collaboration is normally much more fine-grained than this; on a system with any significant number of users, you will normally want to collaborate with a subset of these users only. Either custom groups, or filesystem acls, are a much better fit for this.
If you still think this is an important change to make, then it really is better if you bring it up for discussion among the developers instead of me - I'm not likely to be a good advocate for this change, given that I'm opposed to it.
