+The effective group ID is now stored in the new `cr_gid` field of `struct cred` and has been removed as the first element of `cr_groups[]`, which now only contains the supplementary groups.
+All downstream and out-of-tree modules using `cr_groups[0]` must be fixed to use `cr_gid` instead, and surrounding code that loops on `cr_groups[]` elements excluding `cr_groups[0]`, i.e., that intends to act on supplementary groups only, also needs to be adjusted as now supplementary groups start at `&cr_groups[0]` instead of `&cr_groups[1]`.
+Code that needs to be portable to both 15.0 and earlier versions can use `cr_gid`, which existed also previously as a macro, and can test the truth value of `&cr_groups[0] != &cr_gid` to know how to browse the supplementary groups adequately.
