What to do when you dont necessarily want a Group?
MicrosoftHi Mark, I'll reply to the SharePoint related questions in your list and have forwarded the rest on to others that should hopefully be able to chime in.
- Will the groups that are automatically created for existing team sites be public or private?
[TM] During the provisioning flow for a site, users will have an option to select the privacy setting for the group.
- Will site owners automatically be granted Owner permissions on a Group?
[TM] When a group connected site is created from SharePoint, the group's owners (a claim from AAD) is set to be the Site owners of the SharePoint site collection.
- Will the members of the team site be notified by Microsoft of the groups creation?
[TM] Members get notified of the group creation in the same way they do for groups created elsewhere (e.g. Outlook) with a welcome email that includes links to different resources.
- What happens in the event that a group already exists with the same name as a team site?
[TM] There is a check that is made in the creation flow and the user will be notified if there is a naming conflict and to edit the name.
- Will we get any notification from MS when they decide to implement this in our tenant?
[TM] We communicate upcoming changes like this via Office 365 message center
- Will the groups that are automatically created for existing team sites be public or private?
Is that already being rolled out? I find no way to create a group for exisiting team sites currently.

Ah, my apologies, I misunderstood the question. You were asking about connecting *existing* team sites with a new group. This capability is not yet available but we are working on it.
