[OE-core] would replacing packagegroup names with "${PN}" be useless code churn?

  just my sheldon cooper-like OCD coming through again, but i long ago
noted that some packagegroup files do this:

  RDEPENDS_${PN} = "openssh"

while others spell out (unnecessarily) the packagegroup name:

  RDEPENDS_packagegroup-core-buildessential = "\

when using ${PN} would have worked just fine. i'm a big fan of brevity
so i can whip up a patch to shorter all those lines and make them
clearer, unless folks think that's just unnecessary code churn.
