Patches are always welcome.

I think it's overkill to create users for a single setgid scoreboard file. 
Definitely we want to create them for game servers that run as daemon processes.
 I feel that this is the perfect use for the 'games' user/group.

I posed the question to the -extras and -devel lists a couple of weeks ago, but
nobody seemed to have an opinion on the setgid bits.  I interpreted that to mean
that there were no objections.

https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2006-March/msg00000.html

This is also in the SIG wiki, but could probably be clarified.
