C, D and F had made a number of periodic manoeuvres to maintain their mean motion, until the spring of 2002, when C and F manoeuvred, but D did not. None of them have manoeuvred since, and they have drifted out of formation, indicating the apparent demise of the group. So, if 86014H fails to manoeuvre, we may have seen the last manoeuvres by members of that group.
