The "..feature.group" is in the metadata
but is not an artifact (something that is downloaded during install). There
is an artifact containing the feature.xml file that could be used though.
 Feature artifacts something like this:

    <artifact classifier='org.eclipse.update.feature'
id='org.eclipse.sdk' version='...'

 
The stats mechanism works the same on any artifact. So, you could use the
artifact for either a feature or plugin with the same effect.
