"At present" meaning in the spec, or in existing implementations?

Did someone sneak in a change to the LISTGROUP result text while I
wasn't looking? LISTGROUP traditionally does _NOT_ return the same
output as GROUP does; that may be a wart, but it's worth noting that
there is _no other place_ in the protocol that requires the server
to remember the name of the current group.
