So partly this is a platform issue 

I was on centos7.

    (I don't observe your problem on my Fedora 31 box, for example).

Maybe there is hope for a future centos, then.

    adding a run-time option to the chown and chgrp commands. Not sure
    it's worth it.

Agreed about not being worth it. Oh well. --thanks, karl.
