see the very last Q&A on this page... says it wont create the 365 group if its disabled at the tenant level

I think MS did this backwards... it shouldn't just create a group, it should prompt people to connect it to an existing group if they want. or when they create the group prompt if they want a yammer feed... and allow admins to disable this at the yammer level, not force them to do it at a tenant level.
Now what i see happening is a user creates a group... and later decides to use yammer and that creates a group, now i have 2 groups that have X number of places to store stuff... this is going to be impossible to manage from a admin perspective.
