Yes, the idea with pagesets is that you can group your hosts any way
you like - so that the view people have of the hosts is customized to
the way they work, instead of having a single view of all
hosts. E.g. where I work there is one view where we group servers by
customer - this is used by the people responsible for the customer
contact - and another view where the servers are grouped by OS - this
is used by our second-line support group.

Pagesets have existed for a long time, and are handled entirely by the
bbgen tool. There's a description of this in the bbgen man-page (look
for the "Building alternate pagesets" section.
