No problem for a few groups. But for many groups? Stepping thru all groups collecting the parameters should be done by a program not by humans. ;-) Or as in the original question: Steinar had to kill a bunch of groups (and recreate them later). It would be nice not to lose all parameters. But in fact this is not too important. A workaround is to look at the ~/.newsrc.eld file and collect the parameters from there.
