The whole concept of stud groups strikes me as pointless. Then again, I'm not a part author. Perhaps there is some aesthetic zen of part construction. Personally, all I care about is the geometry and the efficiency of graphics-processing it.
The reasons cited so far seem uncompelling:
File Size: this is functionally irrelevant.
Logo Orientation: You can create wrong logo orientations with the limited stud groups as Steffan proposed just as easily as you can by placing all the studs individually. The alternative—creating stud groups for every configuration of studs in existence—seems counterproductive to me.
