That line has seen a lot of controversy in house over the last weeks.

The main problem we face with the drawer is discovery. How does someone know that there is something there that can be opened? Over time we had little handles, big handles, flashing icons, pull tabs, and the like. At some point one of us added a button at the top to make it obvious (and it did), but the button was really ugly. Then Annie had the idea of using text with the animated chevrons, which is much nicer looking. We also added the dialog that appears after opening the group drawer three times, telling you that the buttons can go away.

Perhaps with the chevron buttons we no longer need any visual indication on the left to indicate that "something" (the grouping drawer) is hidden there. The problem could be occasional users who turn off the buttons then forget that the grouping drawer is there and send email asking what we did with it (yes, this will happen). For that reason, removing the line is a decision I will leave to Annie and Steven.
