As for the groups package, you should not worry about it not using acs groups at the moment. More important is that you provide a link "Create .LRN class/community or OpenACS Group", which would do the appropriate.
As for the group competition package I fear I should not ask if you reused assessment for it (or survey...). It would be good and useful if you could add the grouping functionality to assessment (so a group/party can take an assessment), but other than that, let it rest in peace :).
