How to detect changes in a group of packages

When a group is modified adding or removing packages how do I can notice this change?
If a new package is added in a group I can install it doing

pacman -S $groupname --needed

but when a package is removed?
Recently bin86 has been removed from base-devel: does exist a command to track this change?
Why not using metapackages as for kde that doesn't have this issue?
