Nobody dares to say anything due to infamiliriaty of this spesific case ;/.

I could not find any reference this has been made before.

I could not find any discussion about this issue.

With little effort I could not extract the customization tree to
stdout I could have attempted to grep whether there is same variable
in many groups.

The code in custom.el & cus-edit.el is so complex I could not figure
out whether there is any problems having variable in many groups
(put apparently the changed variable is not written twice to the
customization block).

I do like the feature but with this knowledge I have I just cannot 
promote applying (I sure am not against :)
