 We reserve aliases which begin with a `+` to represent groups - e.g. the room
 for group `+test:example.com` is `#+test:example.com`.
 
-We introduce a `m.room.groups` state event which defines how a room should
-behave as a group - i.e. the rooms which it groups together, and any subgroups
-nested within it.
