In short, no.

The group packages are updated more often, so new individual PTFs are reflected 
in those before the cumes.

Further, some PTFs might be included in a group but not in a cume package at 
all. Those PTFs seem tied to specific LPPs that might not be on all systems and 
are therefore deemed not appropriate for the more general cumes. (IBM would 
have to explain the details.) The database group, for example, has contained 
SQL PTFs that weren't provided in cumes.

(Even further, some PTFs might be so specific to various configurations or 
installations that they must be individually ordered and won't be in groups nor 
cumes.)

I still haven't decided whether the idea of "group" packages was an improvement.
