This describes the situation correctly. 

We do wish we could honour the group policy files, but sadly the
patches have not been re-worked to a point where we can include them
(it is not a trivial task, even with the base of work from some GSoC
students).

I am glad to say we finally fixed the double-counting issue with 4.5.

Sorry,
