Depends on how you call it. Evidently, you have read the documentation
and thus are doing it right. I thank you for that :)

There are two user cases: group and individual. It is not a question of
right or wrong. If your tool is for general use, you might want to add
group support if it fits the use cases your tool should address.
Group support is absolutely required only if you're also going to
process the various EV_SW and EV_KEY events related to rfkill.
