It does. Using the farm is just an added convenience, for example to
apply a common template, but you don't have to if you don't want to.

The original calendar design goal was to implement the smallest
set of functions that would still be useful. So at the time some of
those features went in the "nice but not essential" basket.

And "MyGroup/Meetings-2004-04-21", "MyGroup/Events-2004-04-21" look
suspiciously like an example of Steve's sub-groups. And I seem to
remember that the advice then was to do "MyGroupMeetings/2004-04-21",
"MyGroupEvents/2004-04-21".

I have a nasty feeling that the official farm will break our local one.
Perhaps I should be more patient and just wait for official stuff.
