It doesn't. OG is the only solution we have right now, and it does
lots of things very well, but it is focused on a fairly narrow
definition of groups and how to add / include subscribers.

I'm not sure what's up on drupal.org yet. I've cc'd Mixel.

No, these aren't OG at all...these are arbitrary groups, and it also
handles per-user access.

Note: lots of this stuff has been a sprint to just get working. It's
interesting to see what CAN be done in Drupal....but "doing it right"
means getting it on Drupal.org and working with lots of other modules
in a....modular way.

Follow up with Mixel directly if you have more questions to poke him
with. I certainly hope that lots of it can be integrated, but I can
understand how it is some times difficult to think very generically,
especially when there are competing modules.

BTW....I've had some recent experience with tac_lite, and it's
interesting for role / category based permissions.

Cheers,
