Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. However,as I stated, it's arguable and depends of you definition of a "touring group". Shimano 600 was the first homogenous group to offer what I consider to be wide enough gearing for multiple day, fully loaded touring. Prior to that it was a mix and match situation for bicycle manufacturers.
