In the one rework they remove the line from all IDs and open up the possibility to group with hostiles under exceptional circumstances. It's not like doing this is any major thing either. You already see people making strange but temporary alliances without any consequences.
I guess I shouldn't have expected much from another installment of the highly convoluted clarification thread series.
That is your interpretation. From my point of view, the grouping with hostilities is out of character. Since grouping means the other person(s) in the group are considered as ally (rulewise), it would overcomplicate things, if a person is an enemy and an ally at the same time. It is therefore, so I think, redundant to prohibit it by ID lines. The possibility to group with hostiles under exceptional circumstances remains unaffected by the clarification post.
Situationally, tactical, or as you called 'temporary', agreements between hostile factions are still possible without grouping.
You just have to rely on local chat to coordinate the two groups.
