This is NOT realy true because

----[ manpage 'tune2fs' ]-----------------------------------------------
       -group
              Set  the  group  which  can use reserved filesystem blocks.  The
              group parameter can be a numerical gid or a group  name.   If  a
              group  name  is given, it is converted to a numerical gid before
              it is stored in the superblock.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

wich is set by default to "root" but can be set to anything
and you put root back into the group...
