I'm running bleeding edge ClamAV on my home machine, but not in anger or
connected to exim.
The Changelog for v0.100.0-beta includes the following:
Thu Dec 21 17:00:37 2017 -0500 (Steven Morgan)
------------------------------------------
* bb11996 - deprecate AllowSupplementaryGroups more gracefully.
Thu, 2 Jun 2016 11:54:01 -0400 (Mickey Sola)
------------------------------------------
* bb11557 - drop AllowSupplementaryGroups option and make it default, patch by Sebastian A. Siewior
It seems that the feature is staying and it is just the option that will go away.
