in that case, maybe we should consider about introducing "Project", and
rename the "Group" type to "Band" as well, to get rid of the ambiguous part
of the "Group" type. Is that a valid deduction?

I think its fair to try classifying artist types into Projects and
Bands(Groups), because again this terminology widely in use outside
MusicBrainz. Even more, if we are going to create more AdvancedEntities like
Labels, Distributors and whatnot, we need to have means to specify artist
types in a more sophisticated way than we can today (and there haven't been
lots of substantiated arguments which could make my change my mind to think
otherwise until now, imho).
