It was much easier to write the code using a single root.  I've also
found it to be quite convenient to have -- all groups that don't
belong to any other topics find their home in that topic, which seems
natural to me.  I also like the fact that you can hide all the groups
just by folding the top-level topic.  

The people who don't like it can just rename it to "".

Yup.  Fix in September Gnus v0.33.
