For example: by constructing a non-bonded interaction
potential (implicit solvent) in the spirit of Markus
Deserno's WCA/Cos² potential (Espresso Package) and
re-parameterizing Sievert Marrinks coarse-grained Lipids
to this water-free concept, one can abuse Gromacs to do
interesting simulations on very large systems.

BTW. there would be some other nice things to have in
later versions:

- simpler "freeze groups",
   completely exclude/ignore molecules or parts
   of molecules from the integrator

- atoms/groups combined to rigid-bodies
   and integrated as a whole (rigid-body mechanics)


Thanks & regards
