RPM packages which have "Unspecified" as their group

There are a number of Fedora packages (installed/updated via yum) which have a group of "Unspecified".  Attached is a sorted list of such packages on my system, generated with "rpm -q -g Unspecified".  Of course, there's likely even more such packages which I don't have installed.

...


All current versions of Fedora (and their respective RPM versions) treat the Group tag as optional. Packages may include a Group: field for compatibility with EPEL, but are not required to do so. 

...

Ergo, closing as NOTABUG.
