When groupings were added to Moodle, in 1.9.0, it was an experimental feature, in other words it required additional testing and bug-fixing. This has since been done and groupings have proved to be a reliable feature.
In Moodle 2.0, groupings will be listed as an advanced feature, however to avoid confusion the enablegroupings checkbox in 1.9 will remain in the experimental section of the site administration menu.
