I often use this style:

(defgroup a)
(defcustom a-1)
(defcustom a-2)

(defgroup b)
(defcustom b-1)
(defcustom b-2)

I think that's clean and natural, and I think it's pointless to
require a :group in every defcustom when that is the style being used.
Furthermore, in most cases I only use one group in a file; a module
large enough to need two custom groups is usually large enough to be
two modules.

Since a large minority of my defcustoms are at most 5 lines long with
the :group line, that's often a 25% increase in the number of
defcustoms I can get on the screen.

That's not what Stefan said, he said it gets the last group defined
(which I assume means defgroup'ed) in the file.
