What are your thoughts on adding a Guest (non-logged) User Group and Viewing Access Level to the core? It would be used for displaying content to non-logged-in users, but *not* to logged-in users.
For example, you could use it to display a "Login" menu item to non-logged in users, and it would prevent the "Login" button from being displayed to logged-in users (since they are already logged in).
I know you can do this by creating a custom group, however, it seems as though it's been a highly request feature since Joomla 1.5 (at least) and would be very useful as a core feature on new installs.

Still havent made a site in 1.7+ without creating it, so would save some clicks here as well. I'd actually vote for it to go into the default groups and not only the sample data though...
