Ah, that one. I definitely think this should *not* block the release:
a) there is no clear solution in sight. So if we wait for it resolved,
    it could take months until we get a 2.7 release.
b) it's only about getgroups - a fairly minor API.
c) IIUC, it only occurs to users which are member of more than 16
    groups - a fairly uncommon setup.
