Currently, the symetric difference between group 1 and group 2, unless I missed
something, would only be that ibycus and mongolian-mlc are in G1 minus G2, and
G2 minus G1 would be empty. I don't see much to be gained by disabling those two
language in XeTeX based format (a few tens on seconds at format generation
time). So, IMO, it's not worth it in the current state of things. (Of course it
may change later, and we may want to change the system when it is needed.)
