Does that really prevent the tracking group from processing
keepalives?  Phil's link to HSRP follow groups clearly documents that
it does, while the above link kinda just says it makes a tracked
object to monitor the status of another group.

Either way, it's probably a moot point for now since I'm stuck on SXF
and neither feature appears in my "standby track ..." options.
