For this specific use case (students in a course), the group  
membership has a change curve that is slow at first, becomes very  
rapid at the open of the registration period for the quarter, settles  
down again for a while, then changes rapidly during the first two  
weeks of the quarter (the add/drop/change period) and then is mostly  
quiet until the end of the quarter.

FWIW, I've been noticing a trend lately that people tend to define  
groups first as mailing lists (we use Mailman) and then later want to  
use the same group for authorization purposes for other resources.

Cheers -
