Good question and any suggested resolutions are not handy. I want to automatically change file group ownership to track down changes I do in /etc. Group ownership is not very useful when it have g=r,o=r. And with updated ownership I will be able to track my own changes with command:
find /etc -type f -group my_group
Screwing VCS to /etc is tedious and boring (to commit and comment each change). It is not usable.
Figuring out changes through packaging system like Debian does is not 100% reliable and not handy (requires slow run).
I would say, group ownership is perfect for this task!
Need to talk with EXT4 guys.
