Description:
The filesystem package creates a number of users and groups using systemd-sysusers. However many created groups are explicitly listed as "unused groups" in https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Users_and_groups#Unused_groups I see no reason to create these on new installations.
I addition I would remove the smmsp group used by sendmail, as sendmail is only available in the AUR. A diff is attached.
