The problem with that is that we get inconsistencies going forward.
How about we rename them all, but continue to accept the legacy names of
current ones in UserInGroup(), using a simple mapping table?
Lastly, the problem with the names currently is that they are exposed in
the UI - which makes me less keen on the _ prefix, because it's ugly and
not immediately human-understandable. Could we not prefix with bugzilla_
or system_ instead?
