State-Changed-Why:
It sounds to me like su does indeed describe the current behavior.
If your primary group is 0, then indeed you are in group 0 :-) I read
it as /etc/groups being _additional_ groups that a user is in.
If there is a need to create a group which can read but not modify
logs, then IMHO that's a local site decision and it should be a group
other than group 0. Changing the meaning of group 0 would be a POLA
violation (at least at lonesome.com).
