No, a boolean is the wrong thing. We need DavidH to finish the AccountGroup
removal which would add a new account type, a TopLevel account. This would
replace the root accountgroup. Then you'd have the different accounts
based on the (new) root accountgroup.
I dont know what David hasn't merged into trunk, yet. Once he does, you
could pull up those changes onto your branch.
Regardless, a boolean is DEFINITELY the wrong answer; what happens if
down the road we add something that adds a third accountgroup?
