Whether you think it's worse or not, we don't have our own recommended 
use of that API. We'll provide ActivityGroup class marked as 
ObsoleteAttribute (as long as the API definition says so).

Right now you cannot use it unless you manually bind some C# code to it, 
but our next alpha version will include the compatibility API binding :-)
