Perhaps you should also run 'makehistory -O'

You have: throttle ; rmgroup (several times) ; go
or mod-active to do bulk changes on your active file.
By the way I'd like to refine that question into:
In theory one could throttle, edit db/active (i.e. remove lines,
carefully add lines, sort the file) and do a reload active afterwards.
After that, groups are deleted and created accordingly.
Is this safe? I recall vague warnings about that, especially when
removing groups but this might date back to 2.2 times or certain storage
methods only.
