We cannot and shouldn't do such invasive changes in automatic way during upgrade.

			I wanted to at least add missing groups and add users to them via upgrades in AL 3.4. (Mind that such users's primary group will not be changed either, i.e. from <code>nogroup</code>, because user could have changed it on her/his own.) But there wasn't much interest, even though I provided some patches, like for below examples (so called AL 3.4 band-aids for ccc056dbf9d3 in .pre-* script).

	~~Below I'll try to document all~~ known problems:		Examples of known problems for people upgrading from Alpine Linux 3.4.0:

	* main/apache2: No <code>apache</code> group.
