Group leaders could manage special groups from the UCP without any ACP permission check, so a leader of the Administrators group was able to add new admins. Special groups now have to be managed from the ACP and are no longer listed on the UCP manage groups page. The existing UCP group tests managed the Administrators group directly, they now use regular groups led by the admin user instead.

Group leaders of special groups could manage them from the UCP without
any ACP permission check, allowing a leader of the Administrators group
to add new admins. Special groups now have to be managed from the ACP,
consistent with group descriptions which are already not editable for
special groups in the UCP. Led special groups are no longer listed on
the UCP manage groups page.

Is there a reason why this is targeting master and not 3.3.x?
