There are no guarantees.  Groups can be discarded in the same way that
priority information for an individual stream can be.  There might be
a greater incentive to keep it for longer, but it's still expendable
in case of memory pressure.  (I note here that memory pressure had
better be extreme for you to want to save this tiny amount, though I
can devise schemes where it could make sense.)
