I wrote that months ago.  It was true when 4.4 was first released.  The 
developer then backported the code necessary for it to work.  However, the 
page is not updated because not all distros included the backport, at least 
for some considerable time.

In fact I have been using Groups as distribution lists for around 3 months, at 
a guess.
